The magic behind the BAX EQ is decades in the making.

This unique stereo equalizer features stepped controls for repeatability and identical stereo operation. When what you want is an expressive equalizer — backed up with audiophile accuracy — you've found it. Treat your mixes to the Dangerous Music BAX EQ.

A Must Have

by Will Gilbert from Memphis, TN

Dangerous Music does it again! The Bax EQ is amazing for single tracks and for master tracks. The filters cuts un-wanted frequencies out with ease and still preserves the quality of your sound. You... read more [+] can cut and boost frequencies that give your bass that low you want more of or your snare sound more crisp. Used as an overall EQ on a master track is also un-believable. I use it also along with my 2-Bus Lt and get amazing results all day long. You can't go wrong with Dangerous. close [-]

AWESOME!

Well, as you become a little more in tune with compression and EQ. You start to realize, that some pieces of equipment just do this job, in a way that you first weren't intending it too!. When I bo... read more [+]ught the Bax I was happy with my mixes, but sometimes acheiving a high end a little cleaner, or a lo end sitting a little better, would make me overwork a mix and lose focus of where I was going with it. The BAX filled that void, have a little too much weight on the bottom, dial in the shelf that solves it!, highs a little harsh, dial in a shelf that smooths it out! overall. It is that grammy winning sound, that is so hard to explain. Inside the box.. NOTE I HAVE APOGEE CONVERTORS. I LOVE THEM, WITH A BIG BEN CLOCK,, Anything that improves on these, or allows the convertors to do the job correct, is a winner in my book. I own a Manley Mu that does compression like this does EQ, When something is making a change, and the normal ears can't hear it, I think that is a recipe for the WOW factor.... OH and last, watch how it makes your music sound better, without even touching a knob, VERY HIGH BUILD. THIS THING CRUSHES MY PREVIOUS SHELVING SOLUTIONS.. close [-]

Amazing EQ- Outstanding Quality

The highly anticipated unpacking of this EQ was more exciting than I imagined. The first thing I noticed were the knobs-they are precision-machined and large and robust. I have never seen an EQ thi... read more [+]s industrial but with an elegant and modern stance. The second thing I noticed was how solid-heavy it was and wow! this EQ is deeper than anything in my rack, meaning it is filled with goodies!
The first test was on one of my tracks being summed through the Dangerous 2-Bus LT and it really added warmth and clarity without turning a knob. Just passing the signal through this EQ in default settings made a noticeable difference in the overall sound. Once I began tweaking, the kick was deep and punchy, mids and highs brought to life and was "silky", just as reviewed by others. I am with Revision Records and produce Electronic Dance music so precision instruments and tools are critical to achieving the very best sound and as always, Audio Integrity: non-negotiable!
Oh yeah, thanks again to my Sales/Sound Engineer Bob Mondok for the excellent advice and service that is spot-on!
You have to add one of these to your system! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Josh Estock
The Dangerous Music BAX EQ has quickly become my favorite EQ! This unit is extremely transparent, but allows you to make subtle frequency changes that make your mix come to life! I find the BAX EQ really brings out the crack of the snare in my drum bus, without muddying up everything. It is truly a brilliant piece!

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
