Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT Overview

From Manufacturer

Audio engineers and music producers looking to add some analog mojo to their productions will be thrilled with the Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT, a 16-channel analog summing mixer with DB25 inputs in a single rack. The unit has been completely reengineered to deliver knockdown kicks, vocals welded to the center, a spacious sound stage, and ultrahigh-resolution depth of field that reveals everything, gluing your tracks together organically and effortlessly. Experience a better and faster mix process with fewer plug-ins.

The XT leverages the unsurpassed six-layer summing board circuitry of the 2-Bus+ and adds two custom color circuits designed by the audio wizard Chris Muth. A specifically chosen transformer adds a tasteful hit of 2nd order harmonics for lower midrange warmth while preserving top-end clarity. The Coherence circuit elevates the harmonic content of signals progressively by bringing up the detail as the levels are reduced, then allowing you to blend this result with the source mix in parallel compression style. The processors can be engaged on inputs 15/16 or the mix bus and will add complexity to sterile tracks to draw your listener in deep. The rear panel features two DB-25 line input connectors, two XLR expansion inputs, two main mix XLR outputs, and two XLR monitor outputs.

Dangerous Music 2-BUS-XT Reviews

Analog Summing Warmth

By Camilo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-02-21

The 2-BUS-XT is 100% analog summing with some wonderful warmth courtesy of custom transformers (when X-FORMER is engaged). And the COHERENCE effect is like magic, removing mud and enhancing the sound of any mix. It is extremely very easy to setup and use, all the inputs can be driven really hard and the harder the better to trigger the warmth of the X-FORMER transformers. The 2-BUS-XT looks good and sounds amazing!
