THANK YOU

Thank  you  for  choosing  products  from  the  exciting  and  innovative  line  of 
Dangerous  Music  recording  equipment.  Many  years  of  reliable  service  can 
be  expected  from  our  gear.  This  is  made  possible  through  careful  design, 
construction, and component choices by recording industry veterans.

The  Dangerous  Music  DAC-ST,  DAC-SR  and  UNISWITCH  are  designed  to 
integrate seamlessly into the Dangerous Music Monitor ST system.  There are 
many  features  per  square  inch  (FPSI)  packed  into  these  half  rack  goodies. 
This user’s guide will help the engineer realize the full benefits of this system’s 
functionality and use.

If you have any suggestions for future modules, feel free to forward them!
