Dangerous Music BAX500 Overview Dangerous Music’s BAX500 delivers the iconic, ultra-musical Baxandall curves of the famed BAX EQ in a single-slot 500-series module with no compromises. Ideal for vocal tracking and mixing, with broad shelves that shape multiple octaves at once, each slight shift produces great effects: a vast open top, firm bass, and a polished, costly feeling of depth that finishes your mix. With high and low shelves, as well as hi-cut and lo-cut filters to regulate the frequency extremes that diminish headroom and quality, this tiny but powerful EQ device can sweeten mono or stereo busses equally. More Information The design has an open top, a grounded bottom, and a polished, costly feeling of proportion. High-cut and low-cut filters effectively reduce infrasonic and ultrasonic interference, resulting in increased headroom, dynamics, and translation. Narrow EQ adjustments can cause phase incoherence and harshness, whereas wideband shelving provides smooth and natural sonics. Filter slopes of 12 dB per octave produce natural-sounding results while limiting frequency extremes. The ±5 dB gain range allows for basic musical selections or spectacular large-scale outcomes. A hard-wired bypass bypasses filters or whole circuits, allowing for genuine A/B comparisons without buffering. High-quality bespoke components. The DC-coupled signal route avoids transformers and electrolytic capacitors Dangerous Music BAX 500 EQ Features: Mono 500 Series 2-band Equalizer module. Unique design based on traditional Baxandall tone controls. Phase-coherent, broad-Q shelving provides robust EQ without altering the source’s primary characteristics. Frequency selection for shelving hinges with 8 positions (HF and LF). Accurate control with 5dB boost and cut controls in 1/2 dB increments. Includes 7-position highpass and lowpass filters. Audiophile-grade components provide perfect transparency and phase coherence. Implemented stepped controls to ensure accuracy and repeatability.
