## Description

The BBE® MaxCom™ is a highly sophisticated Dual-Channel Compressor and Limiter with Gate, housed in a compact and easy-to-use package. It provides a live or recorded mix with all the clean, clear punch that only a truly professional dynamics controller can. However, the MaxCom is much more than a high-quality, superbly engineered compressor/limiter. The MaxCom is the first signal processor of its kind to feature an on-board BBE Sonic Maximizer. The BBE High Definition Sound process employed by the Sonic Maximizer is world renown among music and sound professionals for remarkable improvements in total sound quality, bringing crystalline clarity and air to the source material as well as revealing rich harmonic subtleties. The MaxCom employs BBE's latest High Definition Sound technology, in the very same 4th Generation BBE Professional chipset which powers the 482i and 882i Sonic Maximizers. This single-rack-space dynamics processor includes two independent full-featured compressor/limiters, each channel having independent controls for Threshold, Compression Ratio, Attack Time and Release Time. Additionally, the MaxCom’s “linking” function allows for phase-coherent tracking of stereo signals and adjustment from the Channel One controls. Comprehensive metering is achieved via dual bar-graph meters on each channel that indicate Input Level and Gain Reduction. MaxCom’s intuitive design makes it easy to operate, and its rigorous engineering and robust construction assure clean, distortion free audio and a predictable, repeatable range of control from undetectable to clearly identifiable. Whether the goal is to pull a “lost” instrument up in the mix, control vocal levels or dial in hard-limited speaker protection, the MaxCom can accomplish the task with ease, reliability and sonic excellence. By offering a superb, full-featured compressor/limiter with an integrated BBE Sonic Maximizer system, the MaxCom has no equal at any price.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value, Great Sound, Great Customer Service
*by E***D on November 11, 2015*

I've had this in my home recording rack for a few days, and am very impressed. The compression is very transparent, much better than my old DBX, the noise gate also works well. It cleans up all the peaks (mostly from drums), allowing a higher overall perceived volume without distortion; I'm setting it threshold 0 dB, 1.5 ratio and 30 msec attack. The sonic maximizer effect sounds great, I am currently using it at around 11 o'clock, but settings for best sound vary with the source material' very powerful effect. I'm using it right before input into the power amp mixer. I'm still using an Aphex exciter for vocals, but the Maximizer further enhances clarity (both used sparingly). Definitely the most cost effective addition you can make to a home studio (or just your stereo, for that matter); it improves the clarity of the mix. Haven't tried if for live sound, but I'm sure it would help in most situations, especially smaller setups, to thicken and clarify the sound. I have tried the "auto" button, but opted for keeping things manual; very little difference if all settings and input volumes are reasonable, but it might be helpful if you had really weird situations. Suggested improvement: it's a little hard to see the position of the "channel on" and "auto" buttons, lights or toggles would be nice. In my rack, I didn't see the "channel on" button (of course, I didn't read the instructions, who wants to read when you have a new toy?), so I called customer support, was immediately connected to a tech (who had actually participated in the design of the box), who was courteous, knowledgeable and helpful, he took the time to explain the various settings for my set up. Very happy with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great unit, but not much of a compressor.
*by J***N on February 5, 2016*

Bought this unit with the mindset of needing a master noise gate and a limiter, the sonic maximizer was an added plus.The Good: The MaxCom comes with BBE's sonic maximizer which is pretty good for having cleaner highs and lows, which i've always found useful when I don't want to have to mess around with EQ to get a clean tone. The noise get on this unit does a great job as well for filtering noise, more so than any other stereo noise gate i've worked with. The unit can also be set up for stereo where the left half is the controlling side which is useful for post-mixer chaining.The bad: The 1/4th inputs are all unbalanced so if you're running a balanced setup you have to convert to XLR to keep a consistent balanced line. Also there's no input gain knob which forces you to push whatever is before it in the audio chain to meet the idea levels for the MaxCom. The last thing i have to say about it is its not much of a compressor, even when used in what the manual has recommended as a limiter setting, the unit does not limit perfectly and offend the audio jumps to much high than the threshold is set to.Great unit for live when you need something to clean up the the sound right before a mixer and something to gate the noise in the setup. Its also good for studio when you need a gate with some cleaning up of the audio and a little big of leveling the sound. I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 purely because how weak it is as a compressor/limiter. Overall good unit if you're looking for something to gate noise and to clean up the audio a bit, just don't rely on it as a compressor or limiter because your speakers will be blown if you have any spike of audio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic unit
*by T***Y on May 23, 2012*

This unit is fantastic..a limiter/compressor/sonic maximizer in one space rack...It makes a huge difference in sound quality..I use the noise gate to kill any sound below -70DB's, the result is, no buzz in the speakers between programs, the compressor works great, and the Sonic maximizer phase shifts the "highs" so they stand out..worth every penny I paid....
