The MX5000 is the first in a family of MaxxDSP audio processors from Waves.  The 
MX5000 is preprogrammed with Waves MaxxAudio psychoacoustic algorithms to 
compensate for size, power and positioning acoustic limitations in small loudspeakers 
systems.  It is ideal for mainstream consumer electronic products with active 2.0 and 2.1 
speakers including televisions, portable audio, mini-systems and USB speakers.

The system designer requires no audio algorithm or DSP programming experience to 
utilize the MaxxAudio technologies, the industry’s most advanced loudspeaker 
compensation algorithms.  The OEM establishes several presets to optimize audio for 
their target speaker system, while the consumer can be provided familiar controls that 
deliver superior sound than the traditional linear controls. 

•  MaxxVolume replaces the traditional user volume control.  MaxxVolume 

combines high level limiting, low level compression and noise gating.  It delivers 
higher maximum volume output without audible distortion or increased amplifier 
and speakers costs.  It also improves clarity in noisy environments.  

•  MaxxBass and MaxxTreble replace traditional Bass and Treble controls, while 

delivering extended frequency response and more natural sound quality. 

•  MaxxStereo widens the audio image from closely spaced stereo speakers.
