Service
We recommend that if at all possible, a BBE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER which requires service be sent to our facility in
Huntington Beach, California. We request that a “RETURN AUTHORIZATION” be issued by the dealer from whom you
purchased the unit. If this is not possible, call BBE Sound, Inc. directly at (714) 897-6766, extension 116 to obtain a
“RETURN AUTHORIZATION”. Include a copy of the bill of sale with the unit when it is shipped to BBE Sound, Inc. so
that the service can be expedited.
As the repair turnaround time is minimal, we request that the unit be sent to BBE Sound, Inc. We also need to add relia-
bility data to our files so that future revisions may be undertaken, if necessary, to improve the product. If unit has been
purchased outside the US, please contact your national distributor.
Warranty
Warranty registration of the unit to BBE Sound, Inc. is not necessary. It is strongly recommended that you retain a copy
of the bill of sale for future reference.
IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE END USER TO PROVIDE THE BILL OF SALE OR OTHER MEANS OF
PROOF OF PURCHASE TO VALIDATE THE WARRANTY IF WARRANTY SERVICE IS REQUESTED.
The BBE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years
from date of purchase from BBE Sound Inc. or from an authorized dealer. During this period, we will repair units free of
charge providing that they are shipped prepaid to BBE Sound, Inc., 5381 Production Drive,
Huntington Beach, CA 92649. We will pay return UPS shipping charges within the USA. All charges related to non-UPS
shipping, including customs clearance, will be billed. The warranty will be honored for the longer of either 90 days from
the date of any service or the remainder of the original 2 Year factory warranty.
This warranty will be consider null and void by BBE Sound, Inc. if any of the following is found:
1. The equipment has been physically damaged.
2. The equipment shows signs of abuse.
3. The equipment has been electrically damaged by improper con-
nection or attempted repair by the customer or a third party.
4. The equipment has been modified without authorization.
5. The bill of sales indicates that the purchase date of the equipment
is not within the warranty period.
All non-warranty repairs are warranted for a period of 90 days from the date of service.
BBE Sound, Inc. is NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Should the unit fail to operate for any reason, our
sole obligation is to repair it as described above.
DO NOT RETURN ANY PRODUCT TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS AND AUTHORIZA-
TION ISSUED BY THE ABOVE LOCATION.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the BBE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER is limited to proper cleaning of the unit with mild household cleaner
such as Formula 409™ or Windex™. The chassis and cover are steel finished with a durable polyurethane paint, while
the front panel is an anodized aluminum extrusion.
There are no user replaceable parts and the unit should not be opened for any reason unless you are a qualified techni-
cian. Calibration should be performed if parts are replaced or if a performance check-out indicates a problem with cali-
bration. Long term use has shown that over the life of this unit there is little or no drift of the components in the BBE
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER which would cause a change in calibration. A very conservative design philosophy has resulted
in a piece of equipment which runs very cool and should give years of trouble-free service.
