Dangerous Music's Master brings the amazing analog sound and functionality of previous Dangerous boxes to the mastering world with a truly unique approach that will give your projects an edge over your competitors. Three insert points are front-panel switchable for integrating external analog processing and there's something special lurking behind the "S&M Width" knob. With the S&M button depressed, Master engages a "Sum or Minus" mode that lets you control the stereo spread and much more. Every mastering engineer that incorporates outboard gear into their rig needs a Master!
There's truly nothing quite like Master. The S&M functionality adds a remarkable element to your mastering arsenal. Imagine being able to modify the frequency content of the program material residing in the left/right aspects of the stereo field without changing the spectrum of the center material. With Master, you can. Hit the S&M button, activate insert #2 with a stereo EQ connected, and you can work wonders with the sound. Say the vocals (panned center) sound fine in the mix, but you'd like to brighten the guitars and cymbals a bit (which reside in the left and right panning positions). S&M lets you remove the center material temporarily so you can process the extreme left and right signals without coloring the center material. The S&M Width knob can also let you modify the width of the overall stereo field. How's that for having flexibility!

The sound of the Dangerous Master is transparent, yet musical. While achieving ruler flat specifications on paper is possible, the result is often cold and sterile. The marriage of specs and musicality is the ultimate goal- but due to the complexity, remains frustratingly elusive. Fortunately, Chris Muth, the equipment designer for many of the world’s top mastering facilities has this gift and the experience. No other audio company shares this pedigree: real world testing and fine-tuning amidst some of the world’s greatest studios and ears.
Hand built with premium components
Stepped controls throughout
Transparent and silent operation
Seamless connection with the Dangerous Monitor and Liaison
As the control room centerpiece, the Master ties together equalizers, compressors, limiters, de-essers, provides level control accurate to .01 dB, matrix processing and stereo image control.
The integrated Input Monitor Offset eliminates the level bias of the pre-effected and post-process, thus allowing the engineer to completely focus on the final product.
The S&M matrix is an analog sum and difference processor affording unprecedented control of stereo signals. Mastering engineers will enjoy the fact that S&M allows them to save previously unsalvageable tracks by altering vocal levels without touching the mix, by fixing overly wide or narrow stereo fields, or untouched.
The Dangerous Master, combined with the Dangerous Monitor and outboard processing gear, consummate the definitive mastering studio: unsurpassed ergonomics and unrivaled sound. Proven every day in the field, by the greatest engineers of our time.
