Dangerous
Master:
High End Analog Solutions
For years the top mastering engineers and the hottest mastering
facilities have
been using custom-designed tools that were not available to the
rest of us. Until
now. We have distilled the essence of those tools to create the
Dangerous Master.
The Dangerous Master will provide you with the insert loops, sum
& difference
processing, level offset, and stereo image width control that will
turn your high
quality outboard equalizers and compressors into a truly professional
mastering
rig.

Built by the very same Chris Muth who designed the mastering equipment
for
many of New York’s top mastering engineers and studios, the
Dangerous Master forms the centerpiece of a fantastic mastering
system. It will tie together your
choice equalizers, compressors and de-essors by providing accurate
level control, easy monitoring facility, matrix processing and stereo
image control, all in a
compact 2 RU package.
The integrated Input Monitor Offset allows you to focus on the sound
of your
master without being fooled by the pre- and post-process level differences.
The
S&M matrix is an analog sum and difference processor affording
unprecedented
control of stereo signals. Mastering engineers will enjoy the fact
that S&M allows
them to save seemingly unsalvageable tracks by altering vocal levels
without
touching the mix, by fixing overly wide or narrow stereo fields,
or by de-essing
aggressive cymbal hits while leaving the center lead untouched.
Dangerous Master, combined with the Dangerous Monitor and your favorite
processing gear, will provide you with what you need to turn any
mix into a
professional master.
As with all Dangerous Music equipment, the Dangerous Master is designed
by
engineers, for engineers, and built by hand using the highest quality
components
