The process of recording and mixing without an analog console or tape deck created the opportunity to develop products that allowed engineers to embrace all the power and convenience of a DAWs automation, editing and recall, while continuing to work as they had, with console-style tone and headroom, hardware monitor control, metering, speaker and input source switching, and the ability to insert analog processors into the signal path easily and with the highest quality results.Ĭompany co-founder Bob Muller says, “The ideas behind Dangerous Music products are driven by the needs of the music community, who continuously finds new ways to work in the studio. Dangerous Music product designs were created to answer the sonic and ergonomic challenges presented by the changing studio environment as it moved from analog consoles and analog multi-track tape recorders to hard-disk recording and software-based digital mixer/editors, collectively known as digital audio workstations, or DAWs. In the end, listening makes all the difference.īorn out of the shop at Dangerous Music recording studios, the equipment company was officially founded in 2001 with the commercial release of the Dangerous 2-Bus analog summing amplifier. It is worth noting that these designs evolved not in a vacuum but with input from some of the best ears in the business, refined in a working mastering environment instead of on paper.

Since product designer Chris Muth’s time has been spent almost exclusively designing custom equipment for many of the world’s preeminent mastering engineers and facilities, the combination of a mastering quality audio path with an intuitive feature set became the company’s baseline.

The company’s mission is to solve the problems of the ‘hybrid studio’ by leveraging the best of both worlds: seamless integration of analog and digital equipment’s strengths and eliminating their weaknesses. From conception, to astute design, to field testing by our Platinum Legacy Crüe, the 2-BUS-XT will breathe your music’s analog soul to life. Multiple units may be stacked for higher channel counts or team it up with the 2-BUS+ for three different color circuits or the D-BOX+ to add comprehensive monitor control. The 2-BUS-XT is sonically and ergonomically primed by intentional design to increase the reach of your Dangerous System. Ride it during the hooks to add excitement and dimensional complexity.Īssign them to a pair of tracks, an aux send or the entire mix- they’re under your command and all on true hard wired bypasses. Perfect for adding complexity to sterile tracks and drawing the listener in deep.Ĭoherence elevates the harmonic content of signals progressively by bringing up the detail as the levels are reduced, then allowing you to blend this result with the source mix, parallel compression style. The 2-BUS-XT leverages identical technology from the 2-BUS+ to sum your music and unlock its dimensional potential.įollowing a juggernaut of intensive listening trials, the transformers for X-FORMER III were specifically chosen to add a tasteful hit of 2nd order harmonics for lower midrange warmth while preserving top-end clarity.

For over 20 years we’ve been improving the sound and performance of the world’s finest analog summing mixers.
