THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR EQ

If you’ve ever adjusted the bass and treble on a hi-end stereosystem, a boom box or even a car stereo, then you’ve used a Baxandall EQ.Originally designed by the now legendary electronics designer Peter Baxandall,these are the world’s most popular EQ curves for a good reason: they are ableto improve the sound of anything you throw at them. The Dangerous BAX EQ is thefirst professional, stand-alone EQ to use the famous Baxandall curves, and ourversion – designed by our own legendary designer Chris Muth – has become aninstant classic among mixing, mastering and tracking engineers. It’s so loved,in fact, that most are leaving it patched into their audio path full time whereit sweetens and deepens all kinds of music…day in, day out, all year long.

BIG MOVES AND BROAD STROKES

At the heart of this stereo unit are gently sweeping treble andbass EQ shelves (the Baxandall Curves) that give you subtle yet profoundcontrol over wide sections of the frequency spectrum. The opposite of asurgical tool, the BAX EQ is all about sweetening sounds with broad, musicaladjustments. Starting far below and above the human hearing limit, the broadand gentle EQ curves gently tug at the audible frequencies in ways that otherEQs cannot. This unique design provides a distinctively sweet and open treblealong with a powerful and three-dimensional low-end you simply can’t get out ofother EQs.

THE PARADOX OF TRANSPARENCY

The bass and treble shelves found on most professional EQsintroduce phase delay and other audible artifacts, sometimes called “color.”The BAX EQ’s shelves maintain phase coherence, and — because it is built fromthe same ultra-high-grade components we use in all our equipment — the BAX EQdoes not change the characteristics of the original sound. This is the ineffableparadox of real analog transparency: you have the ability to make powerfulchanges without substantially altering the original sonic characteristics.Rather than adding more color, you’ll hear the original colors morebeautifully, more openly and more powerfully, no matter how far you push it.

SOPHISTICATED FILTERING

Beyond the easy-to-use shelf controls, the BAX EQ is equippedwith sophisticated filtering options that vastly expand its versatility. Thecut filters on either end of the spectrum dial out unneeded frequencies thatwill be boosted at the far end of the shelves. On the low end, you can cutbelow 12 Hz, where headroom-eating, infrasonic rumble and DC-offset live. Onthe high end, you can dial out ultra-sonics like 70 kHz that can carry out-of-bandnoise that translates as harshness in many A/D converters. And when you startplaying the cut filters against the shelves, a whole world of uniquetone-shaping opens up within the audible frequency band – sounds you wont getanywhere else.

EFFORTLESS RESULTS FOR TRACKING, MIXING & MASTERING

In a category all its own, the BAX EQ will compliment any studioconfiguration. Outstanding in a mastering rig, on a whole mix or in anytracking chain, the BAX EQ lets you effortlessly sweeten and deepen any music —like the best bass-treble controls you’ve ever used.

THE DANGEROUS PHILOSOPHY EMBODIED

As with all of our products, the Bax EQ incorporates asophisticated circuit design, uncompromising quality, and is elegantlystraightforward to use.
