Dangerous Music 2-BUS+ Dangerous Music 2-BUS+ is a reference-grade analog summing mixer designed for professional mixing and hybrid studio environments. Built as a dedicated analog summing stage between a DAW and the final stereo output chain, it combines multiple DAW outputs through a fully analog signal path offering maximum transparency, high headroom and exceptional stereo stability. At its core are 16 balanced summing channels feeding a high-resolution stereo mix bus. This allows complex DAW sessions to be summed outside the digital domain with improved depth, clearer separation and more controlled transient response. In addition to classic analog summing, the unit expands tonal flexibility by integrating several switchable analog coloration stages directly into the stereo bus. The fully balanced analog design delivers extremely low distortion, excellent channel separation and a highly stable stereo image even with dense, dynamic mixes. This makes the 2-BUS+ particularly suitable for hybrid workflows where analog summing is intentionally used as part of the sonic signature. Sound Character The 2-BUS+ is designed for open, stable and highly precise analog summing. Its presentation often feels wider and more dimensional than purely digital summing, especially in dense arrangements with many simultaneous elements. Transients remain focused, low frequencies stay tight and controlled, while midrange and high frequencies retain natural openness. Integrated analog tone circuits provide additional tonal shaping directly on the stereo bus: Harmonics adds controlled analog harmonic enhancement Paralimit introduces parallel soft-limiting behavior X-Former engages transformer coloration via output transformers This allows operation ranging from extremely transparent to subtly enhanced analog character.

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 CONVERT-AD+ The Dangerous Music CONVERT-AD+ is a reference-grade stereo analog-to-digital converter designed for professional recording, mixing and mastering environments.

Dangerous Music LIAISON The Dangerous Music LIAISON is a high-end analog insert matrix and programmable patchbay designed for professional recording, mixing and mastering studios. It allows engineers to permanently connect multiple pieces of analog outboard gear and flexibly route them into the signal path without repatching, signal loss or interruptions. At its core are six stereo insert loops that can be assigned to two independent stereo busses. This architecture enables complex analog processing chains to be configured, compared and recalled instantly, making it particularly valuable for mastering workflows and A/B comparisons between different processing chains. The fully analog relay-switched signal path with true hard-wire bypass ensures maximum transparency. Any connected processor can be engaged, bypassed or reordered instantly via the front panel. With built-in preset memory, frequently used signal paths can be stored and recalled instantly, providing the flexibility and workflow speed modern hybrid studios require. Routing & Workflow The LIAISON dramatically simplifies complex analog routing tasks. Multiple hardware processors can remain permanently connected while their order, activation and routing can be changed instantly.

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.
