Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT The Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT is a high-end analog summing expander designed to extend existing summing systems in professional mixing and hybrid studio environments. Built as an expansion unit for the Dangerous 2-BUS and 2-BUS+, it adds 16 additional analog summing channels, allowing larger DAW sessions to benefit from extended analog summing outside the digital mix engine. Its fully balanced analog architecture ensures maximum transparency, high headroom and excellent channel separation. By integrating directly with an existing Dangerous summing system, overall signal integrity remains unchanged while additional individual tracks or stem groups can be routed into the analog summing path. The 2-BUS-XT operates purely as an expansion unit without its own output stage and connects directly to the main summing device. This keeps the entire summing process fully analog and sonically consistent, even in large-scale productions with complex routing requirements. ⸻ Sound Character The 2-BUS-XT fully preserves the sonic character of the connected Dangerous summing system. Adding more analog summing channels maintains an open stereo image, stable depth and precise separation. Particularly in large sessions, dense arrangements benefit from improved clarity, tighter low-end control and more focused transient response. Because no additional output stage is introduced, overall transparency remains fully intact. ⸻ Highlights ✔ 16 additional analog summing channels for Dangerous summing systems ✔ expansion unit for Dangerous 2-BUS and 2-BUS+ ✔ fully balanced analog signal path ✔ identical summing architecture to the main unit ✔ extremely high headroom ✔ excellent channel separation for large DAW sessions ✔ seamless integration into hybrid mixing setups ✔ no additional output stage – pure summing expansion ✔ DB25 connectivity (Tascam standard) ✔ 1U 19-inch rack format ⸻ Typical Studio Applications ✔ expansion of large DAW mixing sessions ✔ additional stem summing outside the DAW ✔ hybrid mixing with more than 16 analog summing channels ✔ integration of multiple stem groups into one summing system ✔ extending existing Dangerous summing setups ⸻ Technical Specifications ✔ Device type: analog summing expander ✔ Channels: 16 additional summing channels ✔ Inputs: 16 balanced line inputs (DB25, Tascam standard) ✔ Output: expansion link to main unit ✔ Frequency response: 1 Hz – 100 kHz ✔ THD+N: extremely low ✔ Crosstalk: minimal ✔ Headroom: professional studio level ✔ Format: 19" rack / 1U

Dangerous Music BAX EQ The Dangerous Music BAX EQ is a reference-grade stereo mastering equalizer based on the classic Baxandall filter principle, designed for professional mixing, mastering and hybrid studio environments. It combines extremely transparent analog circuitry with highly musical broad shelving filters, allowing subtle tonal correction without phase harshness or audible artifacts. Unlike many parametric equalizers, the BAX EQ uses very gentle shelving curves for both low and high frequencies. This allows broad tonal shaping without making the sound feel exaggerated or artificial. In mastering applications, this architecture enables highly controlled adjustments that can open, stabilize or tighten a mix while preserving detail and balance. The fully balanced analog design provides high headroom, excellent stereo matching and extremely low distortion. Additional switchable high-pass and low-pass filters extend control in critical low-end and high-frequency areas, making the unit equally effective as a final mastering equalizer or as a stereo bus tone-shaping processor. ⸻ Sound Character The BAX EQ is designed for exceptionally musical and unobtrusive tonal shaping. Low frequencies can be tightened and controlled without losing weight, while highs can be opened with remarkable air and smoothness. One of its defining qualities is its ability to make a mix sound larger and calmer without the equalizer itself becoming obvious. Its broad filter behavior makes it especially valuable for subtle mastering moves, stereo bus enhancement and final tonal balancing in high-resolution productions. ⸻ Highlights ✔ stereo mastering equalizer based on Baxandall topology ✔ highly musical low and high shelving filters ✔ broad tonal shaping without aggressive resonance ✔ additional high-pass and low-pass filters ✔ fully balanced analog signal path ✔ extremely accurate stereo channel matching ✔ very high headroom for mastering levels ✔ relay-based hard bypass ✔ stepped controls for precise recall ✔ 1U 19-inch rack format ⸻ Typical Studio Applications ✔ final tonal shaping in mastering ✔ stereo bus EQ during mixing ✔ low-end control before limiting ✔ adding air without harshness ✔ analog tonal refinement in hybrid setups ⸻ Technical Specifications ✔ Device type: stereo analog mastering equalizer ✔ Filter type: Baxandall shelving EQ ✔ Low shelf frequencies: 12 / 24 / 36 / 54 / 74 Hz ✔ High shelf frequencies: 2.5 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 28 kHz ✔ High-pass filter: 12 / 24 / 36 / 54 Hz ✔ Low-pass filter: 18 / 22 / 28 kHz ✔ Gain range: ±5 dB shelving ✔ Maximum level: > +27 dBu ✔ THD+N: extremely low ✔ Inputs / outputs: balanced XLR ✔ Format: 19" rack / 1U

Dangerous Music BAX500 Pair The Dangerous Music BAX500 Pair consists of two matched BAX500 500-Series equalizer modules, designed for stereo mix bus, stem processing and mastering applications. The modules bring the legendary Dangerous BAX Baxandall EQ curves into the compact 500-Series format, offering extremely musical tone shaping with minimal processing. Unlike surgical EQs, the BAX500 uses wide shelving filters that affect multiple octaves simultaneously, allowing subtle adjustments to create significant tonal improvements such as increased openness, depth and low-end solidity. When used as a stereo pair, the BAX500 becomes an ideal tool for mix-bus sweetening, mastering correction and stereo stem processing where transparency and musicality are critical.
