Introduction; Before You Get Started; Shipment; Initial Operation - Behringer SONIC EXCITER SX3040 User Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the SONIC EXCITER SX3040. The
SX3040 is a professional signal processor that lends audio
signals more detail, contour and presence. Exciter technology
has been part of the sound of numerous successful professional
recordings since the 1970s and has gained legendary status
over the years thanks to its unique sound enhancements.
Often used in the past to compensate for the inadequacies of
analogue technology, the exciter in today's Digital Age is a secret
weapon of sound engineers for generating contemporary
productions that truly stand out. You can now experience this
exciting circuit with the SX3040. The unit works with two
independent channels, so you can selectively process stereo or
two mono signals separately from each other.
Whether you purchased the SX3040 for your studio, live sound
or the stage, the unit's sound qualities are so impressive that
you'll never again want to do without this sound enhancer when
mixing. We at BEHRINGER hope you enjoy your new acquisition.
