After turning the ignition off, be sure to press
and hold

The BBE MP process
improves digitally
compressed sound, such as
MP3, by restoring and enhancing the higher
harmonics lost through compression. BBE MP
works by generating even-order harmonics from
the source material, effectively recovering
warmth, detail and nuance.
