From Our Research Team:

The Ultimate DAW Monitoring Companion

It takes a studio owner/operator to know what other studio owners and engineers need from their gear. As former world-class studio owners and makers of custom mastering equipment, Dangerous Music builds no-compromise, problem-solving gear. Recreating a console's master section, the Dangerous Monitor ST is a stereo (upgradeable to 5.1) remote-controllable input source and speaker switcher, cue/talkback system, and headphone amplifier all in 1U package. It features a stepped analog volume attenuator, four input sources, three speaker outputs, and programmable I/O. With Monitor ST you can set up a great headphone mix while the talkback system, with dual control and dedicated slate output, lets you give the producer his own talkback button! Best of all, the Monitor ST lets you control your entire system right from the sweet spot.

Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.

1st Thanking Bob Mondock for both his patience/informative insight. The ST is a GOD-send from Dangerous Music, I've put this in conjunction with my Apogee Symphony I/O and both the Focal CMS 40's & ... read more [+]Dynaudio BM-5A's....NO-Coloration what so ever. Easy set-up, connectivity, you can completely trust your mix, switch into mono, customize the ST (didn't have to yet), able to truly A/B monitors and left/right channels. Talkback function extremely clear.

I wil be adding the SR in a few months, can't recommend the ST enough. close [-]

After using this for a week I am spoiled as to how good sounding and functional a monitoring solution can be!

This thing is absolutely clean - like a bare wire - but with excellent functionality and great ergonomics. It is built as ruggedly as military gear, but with the design detail of a swiss watch. A joy to use.

One minor "flaw" in my usage (although my Sweetwater sales engineer already designed a workaround), is that the cue output is only available as an amplified signal (to power headphones). I would have liked a line level signal to route through the patch bay to a variety of wall plates in my studio. Most users will probably feel the powered output is an advantage as it saves the purchase of a headphone amp. Still, minus a half star for that...at least for my use... close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Stuart Niven
The Dangerous Music Monitor ST is the center of my mixing room's system. It provides me with the assurance that every signal I monitor through my rig is of the highest sonic quality and that what I hear, is exactly what I have on disk! From my Pro Tools HD system, pre and post outboard, external CD player, and multiple monitoring options, I simply would not trust any other monitoring controller for my critical listening demands. If you're looking for the professional edge and ready for a step into the major league of high-end monitoring solutions, I urge you to add the Monitor ST to your system! After all, if you're not hearing your mixes accurately, what are you hearing? Any serious studio or mix room needs the Monitor ST. Period.
