Overview

The nerve center for today’s professional control room environment.

Monitoring is the most critical part of any studio set-up. Every
decision made is based on what you hear, or what you don’t
hear, through the monitor system. In today’s professional
mastering and mixing rooms quality monitor control
means an accurate, uncolored yet musical signal path with
immediate and intuitive control.

To put out high-quality work an engineer needs the ability to
easily switch between multiple analog and digital sources as
well as different sets of speakers, to recall level settings, and
most critically to listen to the input source material through
the same signal path. The Dangerous Monitor delivers all of
this, and more.

• Superb sonic performance
• Unparalleled clarity, detail and resolution
• Mastering quality onboard D-to-A conversion
• Seamless switching between digital and analog sources


The Dangerous Monitor is the realization of 4 distinct functions, seamlessly integrated into one 2RU package: Analog switching, digital switching, onboard D to A conversion, and comprehensive mastering monitoring functions. There are separate products out
there that handle most of these tasks, but a system that elegantly integrates them into one package while delivering top-quality performance in all areas is a must for a focused control room in a competitive studio.

Specifically designed by mastering studio veterans to bring no-compromise monitor control to your studio, it’s stellar sound, straightforward ergonomics and uncompromising accuracy along with its mastering-quality D to A converter will finally let you hear what your tracks really sound like.

A perfect companion for the Dangerous MQ and 2-BUS - no professional studio should be without one.

• Stepped Attenuator Volume Control

The design team at Dangerous knows that while there are options for digital routing,conversion and analog switching available as stand-alone units, a system that integrates them in one package has not been available until now. The addition of comprehensive monitoring features -- along with stellar sound, unprecedented flexibility and ease of use -- makes the Dangerous Monitor an essential component of today's studio environment, and a perfect companion for the Dangerous 2-BUS.
