Not sure I can explain it off the top of my head, but here's BBE's
description of it:
---Original Text---http://www.bbesound.com/technologies/BBE_HDS/
Functional Overview:
BBE High Definition Sound compensates for phase and amplitude
distortion, restoring the brilliance and clarity of the original
content material. The BBE High Definition Sound process begins by
applying a linear phase shift across the full frequency range of the
signal, which allows the speaker system to reproduce the transients
and harmonics in the correct order. The BBE process then compensates
for speaker amplitude distortion by progressively boosting lower and
higher frequencies, and doing so within the context of the phase
correction process. This efficiently creates a fuller, richer sound
without excess equalization.

Yep. And if it feels like it's hard to understand, what it in layman's
terms does, extra-simplified and cutting corners, is it sort of
divides the audio in three frequency ranges like a crossover, sort of,
and then delays the mid and bass ranges a tiny little (bass the most)
so that the high transients get to 'ring out' before they are masked
by the lows, thus creating a brighter, more airy sound.
They are good but easy to overuse, they tend to sound very good but
later you may realize it was all glitter...but they're good. I use one
for guitar, allows me to dial in a basically dark and non-fizzy sound
but still be clear and bright.
Cheers,
Dee
