Clearer Dialog

MaxxDialog is a revolutionary new technology that lets users adjust center channel dialog levels without affecting the rest of the audio mix. Based on the Waves Center audio plug-in, MaxxDialog delivers clear, crisp dialog that doesn’t vanish behind loud music and effects.

Films mixed for theaters are optimized for a playback level of 85 dB, which is much louder than most consumer listening environments. When heard in the home environment, dialogue often seems too quiet, while music and sound effects can be annoyingly loud. With MaxxDialog patented center channel detection, it’s easy to provide end users with loud, clear, and intelligible dialog in home listening environments, for the perfect listening experience.

Bigger Bass

MaxxAudio 3 features new, breakthrough psycho-acoustic bass extension technology. This next-generation bass extension algorithm features parallel MaxxBass processes that work in tandem, delivering more low frequency detail with less low mid-range noise. This results in a significantly more realistic bass feeling, as it continuously takes into consideration the capabilities of the reproduction system, and adjusts its output accordingly.

With years of experience delivering clean, articulate bass for music production, mixing, mastering and live sound using its patented “Missing Fundamental” technology, Waves is the undisputed leader in psycho-acoustic bass enhancement. MaxxBass offers the same precision tuning tools as Waves professional audio tools, so developers can create presets perfectly suited for their products and their end-users’ needs.

Smoother Levels

MaxxVolume is Waves’ acclaimed all-in-one volume control that uses acoustic modeling to calculate the real volume heard by the listener, not just the signal being fed to the loudspeakers.

Featuring a complete state-of-the-art, volume Leveling technology, that, until now, has been reserved for high end TV. This guarantees enjoyable, comfortable listening for all sorts of program material such as music, games, videos, and streaming media. This eliminates the need to continually adjust volume levels.

Unlike its competitors, MaxxVolume is more than leveling: MaxxVolume’s four dynamic processors work in parallel, resulting in maximum output with optimal signal clarity.
