“It’s obvious that Dangerous listens to their clients.
The addition of Bluetooth, a sub/3rd output and the
gloriously simple but complete app for my iPad takes
the D-BOX+ to the next level of usability. The remote
talkback feature is the icing on the cake.”

with the option of mono listening.

2. PANEL FUNCTIONALITY
•MOMENTOGGLE & LATCH MODE
Feature:
momentoggle
is a feature built into all the buttons.
Benefit: If a button is simply pressed and released quickly, it will latch and remain engaged or disengaged. (Depending on whether it
was engaged or disengaged to begin with).
If pressed and held for more than a second, the function remains engaged (or disengaged) until the button is released.
Example: Want to dart between mono and stereo a few times quickly? Press it and hold. Or need to leave it in mono to see what’s ailing
the mix? Give it a tap.
Need to drop in the subwoofer for a second to see if that bottom end is the nervous guitarist tapping his foot against the mic
stand [
press and hold
] or for extended listening to determine if Romulan spacecrafts are landing? [
tap and release
]
Need to say, “rolling!” over the
talkback
mic to the talent? [
press and hold
] Or leave it open for a lengthy discussion between
the singer in the tracking room and the drummer in the control room about who has the sexiest lover. [
tap and release
]
Tip:
,
Be certain the
talkback
switch is not latched on when finished addressing the artist. For example: To the artist “Okay, we got
it.” To the second engineer “How are we going to get him to sing in key?” Click. Faah..
