Beyond conversion itself, the unit offers a set of tools rarely found on an A\/D converter: switchable inputs, transformers with adjustable saturation, a Clip Guard function, and zoomable digital metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA dual input for comparisons without recabling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo independent, switchable stereo inputs let you swap sources with a single button — input 1 permanently wired to a mic preamp for tracking, say, input 2 fed from the mix bus after outboard processing. In practice that means instant comparison between two mastering chains, checking a mix against a reference, or switching between a tracking and a mixdown configuration without reaching behind the rack. Zoomable metering with a Peak Hold mode magnifies the top 10dB of dynamic activity, making it easier to dial in the exact level being sent to a mastering engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eControlled character before conversion, not after\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of Hammond transformers, wired in series and switched in with one button, adds low-end density and gentle saturation to the mids and highs, while the Emphasis circuit — a parallel Baxandall-style shelf starting at 300Hz combined with gentle compression — adds up to 2dB of boost with second-harmonic content, controlled by a single blend knob. Both circuits have true hardwire bypass, so character gets added deliberately rather than as a fixed part of the signal path. Clip Guard solves a separate problem: it removes false overload information showing up on a destination device's meters without touching the signal itself, so a master can run as loud as it needs to without risking rejection by an automated quality-control system reacting to a meter reading rather than the actual sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo independent, switchable stereo inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip Guard removing false overload information without altering the signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of Hammond transformers wired in series, switched in with one button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasis circuit: a parallel Baxandall-style shelf from 300Hz with compression and second-harmonic content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth coloring circuits with true hardwire bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoomable digital metering with Normal and Peak Hold modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital outputs active in parallel: AES\/EBU (XLR), S\/PDIF, USB Audio Class 2, Wordclock Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix switchable sample rates, up to 192kHz, 24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable calibration level with three settings for compatibility with other gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWordclock in\/thru with switchable 75 Ohm termination, master or slave operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary jitter-elimination technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted): better than 121dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (unweighted): better than 118dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range (A-weighted): better than 121dB, (unweighted): better than 118dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N at 1kHz, +4dBu: below 0.0011%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N at 1kHz, +22dBu: below 0.00035%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIMD (SMPTE) 60Hz\/7kHz at +4dBu: below 0.0012%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response @ 96kHz: 20Hz-20kHz +0\/-0.035dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJitter: 16ps (100Hz-40kHz), 18ps (100Hz-1MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk rejection: greater than 118dB across 15Hz-40kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level: greater than +24dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 3-pin IEC, auto-switching 120V\/240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54195218317649,"sku":"28045","price":3486.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/DangerousMusicConvert-AD_1.jpg?v=1783596835","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/dangerous-music-convert-ad","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
