DANGEROUS BAX EQ

One of the unique features of the Bax EQ is its minimized phase delay design, which provides broad tonal control that won‘t alter the intrinsic sonic character of a mix when placed across the stereo buss or when used in mastering.  In tracking applications you can add shimmer to a vocal without changing the tone of the mic and mic pre.  Boost 74 Hz while cutting 54 Hz, and a perfect 60 Hz bump for kick or bass is crafted. The BAX affects several octaves simultaneously for shapely, sweet, sonic sculpting.

The Dangerous BAX EQ was built in response to the professional recording community‘s ongoing search for unique sonic signatures. The design team at Dangerous took inspiration from Peter Baxandall’s legendary 1950’s tone control that has graced hundreds of millions of hi-fi systems to create a unique equalizer with a 21st century mastering aesthetic. The BAX EQ’s dedicated shelving design carves broad, open curves and gentle sloping cuts that are essential for recording, mixing and mastering. The result is pure emotive expression with audiophile accuracy.  Please welcome the BAX EQ to your tools for success - no radical sonic signature to overshadow the music... just your music: neater, richer, sweeter. 

The Bax EQ has 8 frequency selections for both the high and low bands, with individual stepped cut/boost controls for each channel.  The broad Q shelving curves allow the low band to reach up into the midrange and the high band to reach down, depending on the setting.  Coupled with the 7-position high and low pass filters many flexible and musical equalization curves can be created with the cut/boost controls.

The high and low pass filters are also useful for eliminating unwanted information outside of the audio band.  For example, infrasonic rumble or undesirable low frequency energy  from air conditioning units, jet planes, and subway trains consumes recording headroom, thereby limiting dynamic range.  This subsonic energy also causes compressors to react, instead of only working on the desired audio band content.  Eliminating it dramatically increases low-end clarity and punch while allowing higher maximum playback levels.
