The "exciter" plugin in Logic Pro 9 has greatly improved the midrange clarity of my PA speaker. Would this unit take the quality a step further?

The BBE 882i will greatly improve your sound quality. If your system is for music, then the sonic maximizer is the way to go. For voice only you should hear some improvement.

I am not familiar with the Exciter plugin in Logic Pro 9, but one thing I can tell you is that I prefer hard wired components over plugins because you get a true sound without the fluff. From the time I hook up my BBE into the rack I notice a difference immediately. I got a fuller and deeper sound, It even out the highs and mids and balance out the lows. I researched this component for 2 years before I bought it so I knew exactly what I needed and what I was getting when I got the BBE 882i. I choose the BBE because it is versatile, it can be used with individual instruments as well as Live and DJ hook-up and as a musician I can appreciate that.

To clarify: as I stated on line 3 of my answer, this is for my personal use during SOLO practice sessions. During an actual match with a live Range Officer, I utilize the built in microphone without any problem. The answer from Keith is a bit inaccurate - the plug-in feature works, however, it severely attenuates the input signal. Increasing the device line output should provide a usable sound level. As a pistol shooter, the size is not an issue.

Nope! Absolutely not.I feel that this product has a very short life. It has been few months since I am using this speaker, and the performance steadily decreased. I suggest to go for Bose if you can afford it.

it depends on your own ears , my speakers sounded great right out of the box and they just keep getting better !

Not really - a much better choice would be Polk Audio DB461 or DB461P. The pioneers will produce more bass AT FIRST, but mine wore out very quickly. The Polk Audios are a more efficient speaker, have sound as good as Bose (perfectly clear), and are built to last. I also got some Polk Audio 5.25 in. speakers for my sound bar and a Polk Audio center speaker for my home theater. I love them all.

I am by no means an expert on this. My speaker can shake things off my desk in the bedroom and easily drown out conversation in the large living room. I guess it depends on the shape and size of your space along with the size of everyone else's amps. Maybe you can borrow an amp of similar power for a test run before you buy. This OC is a great sounding box. Good luck.

Honestly I'd go with the Rolls solid state pre-amp filter and not the passive like I have - I'm going to have to call Rolls and to see what's the best device to boost the input signal into the passive filter - I'm getting excellent sound but I want more volume when using the G5 - for most people it would be more than loud enough - it's really a simple fix of having a good pre-amp - I see what your doing - all I can say is I'm not having your problem with my set up - you need to make sure your signal is clean

No, I would advise getting something more like a set of Peavy PA speakers. If it is outdoors, it doesn't matter even if the group is small. You will experience a lot of ambient, distracting noise. And it would be load enough to get full clarity. I hope this helps.

This device will not improve 'quality' but it will amplify the sound so that you can hear better under some circumstances.My PC was not generating sound as loud as needed for me to hear music and movies in the airplane.I use a Bose QuietComfort 15 headphone but the noise canceling feature was not enough.This device helped get the volume as loud as needed to overcome the jets' noise.

I just tested it with a friend and he had it as loud as he could stand it. I could hear almost nothing as I stood next to him. He was listening to Turn Up the Music by Chris Brown, only a faint buzz was heard. I guess it's possible that the genre may make a difference (bass etc.)

actually...this does support Dolby Pro Logic. thus it does "synthesize" the stereo audio as you call it.look up Pro Logic and see how it handles "encoded" and normal stereo audio tracks.

I've been looking into this for a few weeks now and decided to take the plunge. I have heard such good things about it and can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow. I'm only hooking up to it a PS3, my 42" plasma, and my Verizon FIOS box. I can't wait to use it with my new Polk Audio TSI 400s and 200 speakers. How is Polk's audio quality? It must be pretty good since you are still using your antique Polk speakers.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.

I would think so. Try putting speakers at different distances from the microphone. Seemed to give better reproduction when they were about 12-15 feet apart.And different tones at different distances.

The result is definitely different than an EQ. The bass channel is more like an overdrive that doesn't clip (hard to describe it's not distortion) and the high-end is this subtle octave harmonizer. I was very impressed with the inprovement on early 90's gangsta rap that sounds muddy. We use it for our live electronic band to make our sound less muddy and it's really be a big help. I'm not sure it would make a different on the latest music releases though.

You can but I wouldn't suggest it. It's got a ridiculous amount of feedback and will blow out. Spend a bit more and get a behringer pa speaker
