Sum Your Mix Outside the Box
The Dangerous Music 2-BUS LT is an analog summing mixer designed specifically for the digital audio environment. There are certain sonic qualities that analog equipment can impart to an individual sound or an overall mix. That's where the Dangerous Music 2-BUS LT analog summing mixer comes in. Assembled by hand using only the finest mastering-quality components, the 2-BUS LT sums 16 channels (or eight stereo stems) of audio to a stereo pair. It allows you to run hotter digital fader levels while gaining headroom, spatial detail, and clarity — in short, the 2-BUS LT delivers a great-sounding mix.
Incredible imaging with more punch and detail
The 2-BUS LT is a 16x2 summing amplifier designed to help users of DAWs better mix performances through the use of the existing equipment in their studios. While digital audio workstations offer unprecedented flexibility in multitrack recording and editing, the resulting mix from these systems generally doesn't equal those of high-end analog recording consoles in terms of sound quality and preservation of spatial detail.
For pro and project studios
Dangerous Music's 2-BUS LT allows the full potential of your digital audio workstation to be realized audibly. It sums 16 channels of audio to a stereo pair in a high-quality analog environment while occupying only one rack space. At Sweetwater, we've found that the 2-BUS LT delivers the quality you would expect from a full-scale analog console, but from a compact unit that was specifically designed for the home, project, and professional digital studio.
What the pros are saying about the 2-BUS LT:
- "Having the MONITOR ST and 2-BUS LT when it comes time to mix is a must. The 2-BUS LT gives me the analog sound I desire, and the MONITOR ST is by far the best monitor controller I've heard." — Sam Seifert (producer/engineer)
- "Everyone is loving the LT. Even my clients are getting more motivated to deliver, so it's affecting creativity and drive!" — Josh Hayward (engineer/A&R, Astral Plane Studios)
- "I bought a bunch of gear, which got me to 80%. Then I researched this little gem out, and the rest is analog history for me. It's like I poured glue all over my mixes. Fat, warm, depth, clarity, and punch. Did I mention fat? All I can say is the Dangerous 2-BUS LT is an awesome piece of gear." — Jack (engineer)
- "I use my Dangerous 2-BUS LT on every mix. It instills a certain clarity and openness to the balance that is hard to achieve when mixing strictly in the box. All the tracks seem to sit more comfortably in their own niche. The 2-BUS LT is a true winner and an invaluable tool when mixing!" — Marc Bauman (engineer, House Recording Studios)
- "I use gear that sounds good to me. The MONITOR ST and 2-BUS LT have been great purchases for our mix room!" — Ray Benson (musician/artist)
- "I bought a Dangerous 2-BUS LT and SOURCE, and now I am the happiest man in Glasgow! Amazing equipment!" — Ray McHard (producer/engineer)
