Rex, David Bowie, Alejandro Escoveda). Throughout the world, there's barely a studio, sound engineer or record producer that doesn't own some version of BBE's Sonic Maximizer. The SM500 is a single channel of BBE's renowned Sonic Maximizer in the API 500-Type chassis. · The SM500 features the same Sonic Maximizer engine that powers our 882i rack-mounted model · It is a plug and play module that fits into any of the 500 racks currently available from API, Radial, Aphex, Daking, Chameleon Labs and others. These racks have their own power supply, and audio I/O, for the modules. · The SM500 ships as a single module and can only be used when it's plugged into one of the third-party racks mentioned above.", "value":"299.00", "priceMin":"299.00", "priceMax":"299.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"40", "inventory":"0", "brand":"BBE", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"", "stickerText": ""}
