Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT

The totally re-engineered 2-BUS-XT delivers knock down kicks, vocals welded to the center,  spacious sound stage, and an ultra high resolution depth of field that reveals everything, ultimately gluing your tracks together organically & effortlessly. You’ll experience the pleasure of mixing it better and faster with fewer plug-ins.

Leveraging the unsurpassed six layer board summing circuitry of the 2-BUS+, you'll feel the legendary headroom alongside two unique custom color circuits designed by analog cause célèbre, Chris Muth.

After dozens of listening trials, the transformers were specifically chosen to add a tasteful hit of 2nd order harmonics for lower midrange warmth while preserving top-end clarity.. Perfect for adding complexity to sterile tracks that draw the listener in deep.

Coherence 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. Ride it during the hooks to add excitement and dimensional asymmetry.

Assign none, either or both to channels 15-16 or the mix buss all on true hard wired bypasses and breathe your music's analog soul to life.

Unlike passive summing boxes that require huge amounts of make-up gain to restore the lost audio, or line mixers with volume and pan pot controls masquerading as "summing mixers" the active electronics in the 2-BUS-XT result in what Dangerous users describe as "a huge soundstage", "holographic sound", and "audible three-dimensionality".

Panning is wide and precise, reverbs spacious and deep, bass powerful and engaging, treble and mids articulate and interesting. And within all that spacious sound, you get an incredibly focused and strong center image. When summing in analog, you’re also allowing multiple converter channels to share the workload, thereby lowering the strain and increasing their efficiency- much like a 16 lane highway vs 2 lanes. Once there, the 2-BUS-XT's exceptional summing circuits will provide all the headroom plus a vast soundfield, allowing your mixes to truly shine.
