This is accomplished using the science of psychoacoustics on how we perceive sound. By building audio systems optimized for how we hear sound, significant performance improvements can be obtained. This is analogous to designing and building televisions that only display red, green and blue dots. When we view these displays our visual perception combines these dots to make a full color spectrum without needing to reproduce all the necessary color frequencies.
Unlike other bass technologies MaxxBass® delivers more perceived bass while simultaneously reducing the likelihood of damaging speakers and amplifiers. MaxxBass® also delivers this extended bass without any perceived distortion. MaxxBass® technology has been used for years in mastering most of the world's most popular music.
HOW DOES MAXXBASS® WORK
MaxxBass® uses advanced digital signal processing based on the proven psychoacoustic Phenomenon of the Missing Fundamental. A basic description and a MaxxBass® Signal Flow diagram are provided for interested users.
MaxxBass® first implements a crossover at the MaxxBass® Frequency. The MaxxBass® Processor allows the choice of 60Hz, generally suggested for 6- 6.5" drivers, and 80Hz suggested for
The low pass filter (LPF) output of the crossover extracts the bass signal which is below the bass frequency response of the system. This is the signal to be reproduced
MaxxBass® uses a patented digital signal processing algorithm to calculate precise harmonic content information which is added back into the LPF signal. The combined LPF and harmonics output is high pass filtered, thus removing the original bass signal. The processed signal is then added back into the original HPF signal and the final output provides a signal that sounds like the original, but no longer has
