Dangerous has been building award-winning, standard-setting converters since 2002 when the Dangerous Monitor’s onboard digital-to-analog converter (DAC) swiftly became the industry reference. They’ve been asked over the years to build a stand alone DAC, and it's finally here in the CONVERT series. Eager to embrace the opportunity to develop a new and better DAC, we designed the CONVERT series converters from the ground up, utilizing cutting-edge digital technology coupled to a Chris Muth designed analog circuit that delivers their signature sound: open, articulate and powerful from top to bottom. Loaded with innovative and useful features accessed from an intuitive front panel, the Dangerous CONVERT-2 tops an elite class of dedicated stereo digital-to-analog converters in both sound and ease of use. The CONVERT-2 goes beyond transparency – you won't just hear everything, you’ll hear it beautifully.

It’s All About Implementation

While in theory most converters should be the same, among those who truly understand this hotly debated and endlessly researched area of audio technology, the mantra is implementation, implementation, implementation. How a converter’s components are selected, tweaked and assembled according to a specific design, and then tuned for superior performance within that plan is what sets a converter apart – for better or worse. The Dangerous CONVERT-2 has been developed by a team of experts with deep, up-to-the-minute knowledge of digital and analog converter technology.

Fine Tuning The Analog Side

A legend among mixing and mastering engineers for decades, Chris Muth has designed the analog gear used to mix and master an endless list of hit records and classic reissues. Chris’s powerful, articulate, hi-fi designs dominated the big studios in New York City since the 80s, and via Dangerous his designs have become essential components in the best modern DAW-based mixing and mastering studios. When Dangerous set out to develop a new dedicated stereo DAC, Chris brought his relentless design philosophy and world-renowned sound to the CONVERT’s analog technology. Not only did he develop the audiophile-grade analog audio path, Chris also meticulously fine tuned the low-pass reconstruction filters mandatory to implementing any DAC. These filters lie at the heart of how a converter will perform, and the CONVERT series has the jaws of top pros hitting the floor when they hear the big natural sound and the powerful, ultra-clear low-end.

Perfecting The Digital Side

Dangerous brought in digital guru Paul Messick to make sure the digital side of the CONVERT-2 would sing in perfect harmony with its finely tuned analog circuit. Paul rigorously refined the CONVERT’s JetPLL ultra-low jitter clocking technology until it surpassed the JET’s stated specs, resulting in the virtual elimination of jitter throughout the audio band and beyond. Gone are the sonic headaches and end-of-day fatigue brought on by long-term exposure to jittery digital audio systems. The CONVERT-2’s superbly implemented digital technology delivers such a natural, open and non-irritating sound that you’ll forget you’re even listening to converted 0s and 1s.

Detailed Information & Delightful Inspiration

Reaching beyond transparency and accuracy, the sound of the CONVERT-2 is so open and 3-dimensional that many are saying that these are the most beautiful, natural sounding converters they’ve ever heard. Whether your focus is tracking, mixing or mastering, when you choose a dedicated stereo DAC, you’re choosing the unit you’ll trust to make all your sonic judgments, from choosing a mic to deciding how much limiting to use in mastering. You need your DAC to be honest, but you also need it to sound beautiful. With the CONVERT you get the uncanny combination of detailed information and delightful inspiration.

To survive in this modern day audio jungle, the contemporary studio must be lithe and agile; a facility that can adapt to any workflow: effortlessly. Tracking, mixing and mastering services oftentimes must be performed under one roof, utilizing every particle of outboard gear available.

The Dangerous LIAISON realizes this dream by providing unprecedented access to your outboard equipment. Connect up to six of your favorite two channel units to the LIAISON (more if you daisy chain, leverage a patch bay or add a Dangerous Master). Instantly audition any device or combination, change the order, dial in some parallel processing and then store these customized signal paths as presets to use again, on demand, anytime. True hard-wire bypass relays remove the gear entirely from the signal path; this includes outboard that lacks an integrated bypass or true hard-wire bypass. Mastering grade components switch instantly and silently, providing true A/B comparisons without coloration or latency. Pre and post-processing monitor outputs make it simple to audition between the original source and the treated product.

The A and B buss paths aren’t just for comparing signal paths. They can be strung together in series. For example, if your favorite EQ (the BAX of course) is connected at 1 and a limiter is connected at 5, selecting 5 from Buss A and 1 from Buss B reverses their order.

Parallel Processing allows the original and effected signals to be blended independently. For example: crush the drums with heavy compression for tight, explosive impact, while mixing in the original to retain transients and dynamics.

Features

• 6 Stereo Insert Loops, Assignable to 2 Stereo Busses
• Flexible and Potent Parallel Processing Loop
• Route, Switch, Matrix, Flip & Audition Instantly
• Recall any Tracking, Mixing or Mastering Configuration
• Seamlessly Integrates with Dangerous Master

Application Examples

• Tracking: craft recall-able patches for cutting
  • Pop vocals, hip hop, voice overs...
  • Kick drums that click, resonate or “thwomp!”
  • Bass lines that are rich, liquid, punchy or fat
  • Parallel processing with a compressor, Dolby A or...
• Mixing: use it for
  • All the tracking tricks above
  • And all the mastering examples below
• Mastering: audition the possibilities
  • EQ before compression? Or compression before EQ?
  • Compression ratio at 1:1.5 with a low threshold followed by limiting at 1:20 with a high threshold?

DESKTOP PASSIVE MONITORING SYSTEM

Heritage Audio’s Baby RAM is the ultimate passive-monitoring system, delivering the most transparent signal with the best stereo imaging of any other passive designs available!

Classic console design meets a passive signal path.

Introducing the Baby RAM: a boutique, passive-circuit monitor controller inspired by classic European console designs. Baby RAM is the ultimate controller for total transparency — a zero-compromise signal path, paired with a simplified control set keeps both your monitors and your ears where you need them.

Baby RAM features a 4 gang, 24 step rotary switch for volume as opposed to cheaper stereo potentiometers, which means the precision of your stereo signal is perfect on every position! Baby RAM also has no insertion loss, meaning that there’s no extra coloration or signal loss at any settings.

Complex design with simplified workflow.

Baby RAM might pack a zero-compromise circuit design, but it couldn’t be any easier to use: 2 stereo -pair inputs and outputs — both balanced and ground free (unbalanced compatible) on gold plated TRS jacks, and Mute, Dim, Mono, and Volume monitoring controls make Baby RAM a breeze to work with. And with it’s passive design, it also means you have no concerns with bad power supplies, as no supply is needed!

Baby RAM is built with the most cutting edge methods in manufacturing and design, without ever compromising audio quality or cutting corners — all at the Heritage headquarters in Spain.

¿Quién necesita un control de nivel analógico?
En pocas palabras: la mayoría de los usuarios de estaciones de trabajo de audio digital (DAW). La mayoría de los convertidores D/A y tarjetas de sonido no ofrecen ningún control de nivel analógico, lo que implica la necesidad de variar los niveles de señal en las salidas del convertidor. El resultado es una tasa de bits reducida en la señal de monitorización, lo que puede provocar una pérdida proporcional de calidad de audio. Otro campo de aplicación muy interesante es la construcción de una cadena de reproducción estéreo directa con calidad de audiófilo, donde el SPL Volume 2 se sitúa entre el reproductor y el amplificador de potencia y los altavoces o simplemente el sistema de altavoces activos. En tales casos, el reproductor debe ofrecer salidas analógicas. Esto permite un mínimo esfuerzo financiero y electrónico a través de la ruta de reproducción más directa posible.

Razones adicionales para emplear el Volume2
Etapas de balanceo de alta calidad con un rechazo de modo común extremadamente bueno (minimiza interferencias y perturbaciones en las rutas de señal)

El interruptor de silencio permite tiempos de reacción muy rápidos en casos en los que se deben proteger los altavoces o los oídos (por ejemplo, en caso de fallos de la computadora)

Los usuarios de suma analógica sin instalaciones de monitoreo pueden mejorar sus sistemas de manera rentable

Características especiales
El Volume2 está construido solo con circuitos y rendimiento analógicos, y sus piezas de alta calidad en un diseño de circuito sofisticado son requisitos previos para una calidad de audio superior:

• Potenciómetro de volumen de alta gama e interruptor de silencio iluminado de ALPS; el potenciómetro controla las señales directamente (sin circuitos VCA o DAC)
• Entradas y salidas XLR balanceadas
• Una fuente de alimentación de alta calidad con transformador toroidal
• Las enormes perillas de aluminio de 45 mm de diámetro garantizan un manejo uniforme y refinado.
• La carcasa de formato compacto y elegante (215 x 80 mm o 8,5 x 3,1 pulgadas) permite una colocación flexible en el escritorio cerca o debajo de un monitor de computadora o, en general, ahorra espacio en la colocación.
