From Our Research Team:

Sum your mix outside the box!

The Dangerous 2-BUS LT is an analog summing mixer designed specifically for the digital audio environment. There are certain sonic qualities that analog equipment can impart to an individual sound or an overall mix. That's where the Dangerous Music 2-BUS LT analog-summing mixer comes in. Assembled by hand using only the finest mastering-quality components, the 2-BUS LT sums 16 channels (or eight stereo stems) of audio to a stereo pair. It allows you to run hotter digital fader levels while gaining headroom, spatial detail, and clarity- in short, the 2-BUS LT delivers a great sounding mix.



Dangerous Music 2-BUS LT at a Glance:
  • Incredible Imaging with More Punch and Detail
  • For Pro and Project Studios

Incredible Imaging with More Punch and Detail
The 2-BUS LT is a 16x2 summing amplifier designed to help users of digital audio workstations (DAW's) better mix performance through the use of the existing equipment in their studios. While digital audio workstations offer unprecedented flexibility in multitrack recording and editing, the resulting mix from these systems generally doesn't equal those of high-end analog recording consoles in terms of sound quality and preservation of spatial detail.

For Pro and Project Studios
Dangerous Music's 2-BUS LT allows the full potential of your digital audio workstation to be realized audibly. It sums 16 channels of audio to a stereo pair in a high quality analog environment while occupying only one rack space. The 2-BUS LT delivers quality you would expect from a full-scale analog console, but from a compact unit that was specifically designed for the home, project, and professional digital studio.

Dangerous Music 2-BUS LT Features:
  • Breathe the soul back into your mix.
  • Mix faster- leave the faders up and let the 2-Bus LT take the heat.
  • Restore punch, low end, and the stereo soundstage by breaking out the kick, snare, bass, loops, vocals, and instrumentation independently.
  • A true summing amplifier: no hardware pan pots and level controls to degrade the audio path and lose your software's recallability.
  • Integrate outboard gear with zero latency.
  • Frequency Response: 1 Hz-100 kHz within 0.3 dB
  • Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.006% in audio band
  • Intermodulation Distortion: 0.007% IMD60 4:1
  • Crosstalk @ 1 kHz: -97 dB
  • Noise floor: -81 dBu total energy in audio band
  • Max level: +27 dBu
  • Nominal operating level: +4 dBu
  • Input impedance: 25k ohm balanced
  • Output impedance: 50 ohms balanced (600 ohm drive capable)
  • Gain accuracy: +/- .25 dB
  • Power consumption: 25 watts
  • Warranty: 2 years parts and labor

I will keep it short. This unit coupled with the D-Box is beyond words. Very subtle at first, but once I dug into the entire summing thing, it has changed the way I mix and approach production.

I was looking for a way to get out of the box without buying a console right now. I curently still use a DIGI003. I wanted to make sure my next purchase would make a big difference in my sound. I did ... read more [+]a mixdown through a dangerous 2 bus that a friend of mine had to make sure I would be happy with the purchase. When it came in I hooked it up with no problem. I ordered an aphex d/a converter to get my channels 9-16 to come through as the digi only has 8 outs but you can add 8 more with adat out. I mix mainly rock bands with high track counts. My mixes can finally breathe and have the space they need. The tones from the guitars are what I hear when I listen to the amp, full and the way it should be. Made a massive improvement. GET OUT OF THE BOX with this piece. close [-]

This is the best thing you could add to an all "in the box" DAW! Finally, my mixes sound like how I always envisioned they should be. Low end punch, smooth highs, lots of headroom and extreme clarity!... read more [+] Great piece of gear! close [-]
