MaxxBass 107

Whether you do sound installation for smaller spaces or you’re a DJ who wants to rock the house, whether you’re a restaurant owner who wants to create the perfect sonic environment or an audio engineer for a house of worship, the MaxxBass 107 is for you. Using the patented psycho-acoustic technology heard on countless hit records and major motion pictures, the 107 extends perceived bass frequency response by up to 1½ octaves.

MaxxBass 102

Until now, delivering really deep bass response to the 30Hz range has not been possible for mainstream consumer electronics. The cost, size, and weight of the acoustic system was just too great.

Today there’s a solution. The MaxxBass 102 is an easy-to-use hardware unit which can be integrated in both new and existing sound systems. Cost-effective and space-saving, MaxxBass 102 enables active home theater subwoofers to deliver the kind of bass which previously required a huge driver and subwoofer enclosure.

With stereo analog inputs and outputs, as well as controls for input level, frequency and intensity, MaxxBass 102 lets you tune your system for optimum bass performance for a wide range of speaker types. Add MaxxBass 102 to your home theater and feel the bass.

APA 32 & APA 44

Engineers, producers, and musicians who use Waves demand the most powerful and advanced audio tools available. They also have a habit of pushing any system to its edge—because they refuse to let technology limit their vision. At Waves, we have the same philosophy. So instead of waiting for today’s processors to catch up with the tools we build, we’ve created the APA32 and APA44-M Audio Processing Accelerators: Outboard units with the power to do the heavy lifting your mixes demand.
