Working side-by side over several decades with many of the best mastering engineers in the business, Chris and the equipment designed in this unique collaborative environment have set the standard for the form, function and sonic performance of the modern mastering setup.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnparalleled fidelity, detail and imaging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePristine, uncolored signal path\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100% Analog sum-and-difference processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStepped controls throughout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates seamlessly with the Dangerous Monitor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Dangerous Master is the no-compromise heart of the mastering studio. Its transparent circuitry seamlessly integrates the power of analog signal processing by allowing easy insertion of equalizers, compressor\/limiters and de-essers. 100% stepped switching provides accurate and repeatable level control as well as easy pre-post monitoring with level matching through the Input Monitor Offset feature. The S\u0026amp;M mid-side processing loop allows unprecedented control of the stereo image.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe integrated Input Monitor Offset allows you to focus on the sound of your master without being fooled by the pre- and post-process level differences.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe S\u0026amp;M matrix is an analog sum and difference processor affording unprecedented control of stereo signals. Mastering engineers will enjoy the fact that S\u0026amp;M allows them to save seemingly unsalvageable tracks by altering vocal levels without touching the mix, by fixing overly wide or narrow stereo fields, or by de-essing aggressive cymbal hits while leaving the center lead untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDangerous Master, combined with the Dangerous Monitor and your favorite processing gear, will provide you with what you need to turn any mix into a professional master.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs with all Dangerous Music equipment, the Dangerous Master is designed by engineers, for engineers, and built by hand using the highest quality components.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll connections are Balanced XLR, +4 dBu nominal operating level\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 stereo inputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3 stereo outputs (one for monitoring)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3 insert loops\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2nd insert capable of MS matrix operation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput and Output controls: + - 5 dB in 0.5 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput Monitor Offset: -2 to +8 dB in 0.5 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWidth control: -4 to +6 dB in 0.5 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttenuator accuracy: 0.02 dB (0.01 dB typical)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHD+Noise in audio band: 0.003%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIMD 60 Hz + 4 kHz 4:1: 0.004%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCrosstalk rejection: Better than 95 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeadroom: \u0026gt; +27 dBu, +23 dBu in the matrix under worst case conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency response: Better than 0.2 dB down @ 1 Hz and 100 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNoise floor: \u0026lt; -89 dBu total energy in the audio band\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449648902247,"sku":"19185","price":3795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_19185_1_3852ca0e-ec56-4dfe-a07f-7bbcc41312b1.jpg?v=1787089831","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/dangerous-master-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
