PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a BBE ARS HIGH DEFINITION SOUND processor.  This device is
a versatile, two-channel signal processor that will benefit any audio system.   
With its patented BBE HIGH DEFINITION SOUND technology, audiophiles will delight in the ARS
unit’s ability to restore much of the original live performance sound quality to old LPs and tapes where the
musical performance was outstanding but the recording technology was primitive.  
Today, the quality of CDs has made the reproduction of sound much more accurate and fulfilling.
Unfortunately, the original recorded tapes from which the CDs are mastered may not have been recorded
with the latest recording techniques, causing the program material to be distorted or muddy.  Additionally,
because the modern mastering process for CDs is digital, some of the natural audio characteristics are lost.
The BBE ARS will help restore the sparkle and clarity of those original master recordings and will add
warmth and natural musical presence to contemporary digitally recorded material.  With the BBE ARS,
low frequencies of bass instruments will be more evident in the mix.  Voices will be clearer.  Notes of a
guitar or keyboard will have greater integrity and be more distinct from each other.
Highs are clearer, cleaner and more finely detailed.  The original program material is faithfully reproduced
with more of the nuance, subtlety, and presence of live performance.  Plucked and percussive sounds such
as guitar, piano and cymbals are sharper and cleaner.  The full harmonic texture of instrumental and vocal
solos are heard.  In ensemble music, each instrument and voice retains its integrity.  Speech intelligibility
is markedly improved. In summary, the BBE HIGH DEFINITION SOUND processing technology found
in the BBE ARS will bring more depth, detail and definition to any home audio system.
