Sweetwater Advice

Marcos Sanchez
The Dangerous Music BAX EQ is by far the best stereo EQ I've ever used on my main output. It adds a certain polish to your mixes that allows the lows to punch without being overbearing, and the high end to shine without becoming harsh. Every final mix I work on now has to have the BAX EQ on it right before I print it, without question.

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!
Stuart Niven
The Dangerous Music BAX EQ is the new standard in high end equalization for mastering engineers and mix engineers. It provides silky smooth shelving curves that really make your mixes come to life. It'll make the bottom end of your mix punch and the top end shimmer without any coloration or artifacts. Simply amazing! Once you hear it across a mix, you will not want to ever switch it off! I can't believe I ever mixed without one in my rack. Once you hear what this can do for your mix, you won't either. If you are serious about your mixes and masters, do yourself a favor, get this today.

A Must Have

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 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.

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 bought 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..

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 this 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!

Very Limited

I've used the Bax EQ for about 2 months now and I have to say that
I'm a little dissapointed. After reading all the great reviews on it, I expected it to just blow me away....It did not. If your mix is already properly EQ'd using something else, you can get a little sweeting from this thing, but by no means should you depend on it for your main EQ. It's very subtle and it's very limited in what it can do.
