The console ties outboard gear — equalizers, compressors, de-essers — into one coherent system using stepped switches instead of potentiometers, so any setting can be written down and reproduced identically months later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise stereo and M\/S control without leaving the chair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert 2 hides a fully analog, audiophile-grade sum-and-difference matrix: any equalizer or compressor patched into that loop acts exclusively on the center of the stereo image or on its sides, so you can tame a harsh vocal or snare in the middle without touching wide-panned guitars on the sides — or the reverse, calming unruly cymbals without losing air and articulation in the center. A separate width control stretches or narrows the stereo image independent of whatever's happening on the insert, and the Flip switch reverses the order of inserts 2 and 3 at the push of a button to check whether an EQ should sit before or after the M\/S matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInsert expansion and level-matched A\/B comparisons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree stepped insert loops cover the basics, and when more outboard room is needed, MASTER pairs with LIAISON to expand the available inserts from three to seven, along with parallel processing and instant recall of stored configurations. The Input Monitor Offset matches the loudness of the processed signal against the original, so the In\/Out switch delivers a fair before-and-after comparison without the illusion that the louder version automatically sounds better — the same principle that lets peak-over-average meter arrays, like the one in the CONVERT-2, be read accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree stepped insert loops, each independently switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog M\/S matrix on insert 2 with independent stereo width control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible order of inserts 2 and 3 (Flip switch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Monitor Offset for level-matched before\/after comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo switchable stereo inputs (e.g., a D\/A converter and a patchbay\/tape machine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree stereo outputs, one dedicated to monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStepped L\/R controls with high channel-to-channel gain-tracking accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegration with LIAISON expanding insert loops from three to seven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll connections on balanced XLR, +4dBu nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2U rack chassis, hand-built in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2 stereo, XLR connectors, +4dBu nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 3 stereo (one for monitoring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput\/output control: ±5dB in 0.5dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Monitor Offset: -2 to +8dB in 0.5dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM\/S width control: -4 to +6dB in 0.5dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttenuator accuracy: 0.02dB (0.01dB typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: 2U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54195218743633,"sku":"25532","price":5617.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/DangerousMusicMASTER1.jpg?v=1783596821","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/dangerous-music-master","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
