Introduction
Renaissance Bass lets you accurately reproduce low-frequency sounds on playback systems that cannot handle low-
frequency signals. With Renaissance Bass, even bass-rich songs can be played through speakers that are too small, too
inefficient, or (up to a point) too cheap to reproduce deep sounds. It also lets you add bottom to a mix without losing
headroom.
Renaissance Bass uses a patented technology that Waves developed for the original MaxxBass processor, which is
used to improve the listening experience with computers, televisions, and portable devices. To this tried-and-true
technology, Renaissance Bass adds significant improvements in psychoacoustic bass performance, a streamlined
interface, and clip-free signal flow.
What’s the Secret?
Every sound has a fundamental: the lowest frequency from which harmonics are generated. The complexities of these
harmonics help your brain distinguish instruments from one another and provide the information you need to faithfully
experience the rich world of sounds. Sometimes the fundamental cannot be played back properly, which dramatically
alters your experience of the low frequencies. A radio with a small speaker, for example, cannot properly reproduce the
bass guitar in a rock song or the double bass in a jazz piece; the fundamental pitch is too low. Using an EQ to add more
bass to the signal just makes matters worse, since it further stresses the playback system.
The brain, however, can reconstruct a “missing fundamental” from just the harmonics the ear is hearing. Your ear hears
these harmonics, and your brain can then “go backward” to recreate the fundamental. You hear the low bass note, even
though the speaker is not capable of reproducing it. You can also use Renaissance Bass to “tune” the low end of a room.
If, for example, you are the FOH in a venue with a bottom end that is muddy or inarticulate, you may be able strip the
signal of some of the low frequencies that are causing the mess, and then introduce higher harmonics that the room can
handle. The result: a powerfully perceived low frequency without the muck that was keeping the real mix from coming
through.
