DANGEROUS MUSIC 2-BUS+
The Dangerous Music 2-BUS+ Analog Summing Mixer is a groundbreaking piece of audio equipment that surpasses its predecessor, the original 2-BUS. It redefines mixing by offering not only an enhanced analog summing circuit but also three innovative custom color circuits: Harmonics, Paralimit, and X-Former.
Key Features
- Redesigned Analog Summing:
- The 2-BUS+ features a redesigned analog summing circuit that exceeds previous specifications. This results in unsurpassed imaging, dimensionality, punch, and headroom.
- Three Custom Color Circuits:
- Harmonics:
- Adds euphoric odd- and even-order distortion to the mix, creating a unique analog edge. It can be applied to the whole mix or individual channel pairs, running parallel to the unprocessed signal.
- Paralimit:
- A FET limiter inspired by the famous 1176 "all buttons in" trick. Offers infinite ratio setting flooded with analog top-end, providing instant parallel compression in stereo for the full mix or stereo stems.
- X-Former:
- Incorporates a pair of custom-loaded Cinemag transformers with a unique approach to driving the core. Delivers the classic analog console color, and the X-Former knob allows control over the amount.
- Effortless Routing and Blending:
- The user interface allows easy routing and blending of the analog color circuits, providing a vast array of tonal options. The stereo analog insert is switchable for seamless outboard gear integration.
- Crystal Clear Sonic Imaging:
- The 2-BUS+ delivers crystal clear sonic imaging, three-dimensionality, and endless headroom, enhancing the overall quality of the mix.
- Flexible Parallel Processing:
- Harmonics and Paralimit can be assigned to the whole mix or individual channel pairs. The patching order can be instantly flipped, and blending with the original signal is easily achieved.
- Switchable Stereo Analog Insert:
- Allows integration of outboard processors, adding to the flexibility of parallel processing.
- Stepped Output Gain Control:
- Enables precise recalls for consistent results in subsequent sessions.
- XLR and D-Sub Input Connectivity:
- Offers both XLR and D-Sub input options for versatile connectivity.
- Audiophile-Grade Components:
- The 2-BUS+ is built with high-quality components throughout, ensuring exceptional audio performance.
- Hand-Assembled in the USA:
- The unit is hand-assembled in the USA, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
- Analog Investment:
- Analog equipment like the 2-BUS+ is considered a long-term investment due to its reliability and timeless appeal. It remains relevant and compatible with various systems over decades.
In summary, the Dangerous Music 2-BUS+ combines advanced analog summing capabilities with innovative color circuits, providing audio professionals with a versatile and powerful tool for enhancing the mixing process.
