THANK YOU
Thank you for joining the Dangerous Music family. You will receive years of reliable pleasure
from our gear due to careful design, construction, and component choices by recording industry
veterans.
The Dangerous Music MASTER transfer console represents the culmination of the design and real
world implementation of custom mastering equipment throughout many of the world’s premium
facilities. Decades of experience have been distilled down into a two rack space unit of exceptional
ergonomic and sonic performance at a price about a third of our designer’s previous attempts. In
conjunction with the Dangerous Music MONITOR-ST, the addition of one’s favorite analog processing
equipment and A/D/A converters, the MASTER makes the setup of a quality analog mastering
system easier than it has ever been. This manual explains the features, controls, connections,
and suggestions for the operation of this unit. Expansion is even possible with the addition of a

ABOUT DANGEROUS MUSIC
Dangerous Music is composed exclusively of musicians, studio owners, producers and engineers
– the very same group of people for whom Dangerous products are designed. That’s the magic:
living the recording experience on both sides of the control room glass and constantly working to
improve it. Without shareholders pimping profit at the expense of the artists (us!) using the gear.
From the inception, building to a “price point” was ignored in favor of: Audio Quality First. Our brain
trust at Dangerous determines the product’s function, feature set and how to make it sound as
transparent, musical and versatile as humanly possible. We build the gear we want to use.
Sacrifice Nothing®. This is our credo. The results are products that resurrect dynamic range,
punch, intelligibility and emotion. These high-fidelity, uncompromising signal paths are achieved
by harnessing over 30 years of Chris Muth’s design wizardry; creator of infamous custom black
boxes for world class facilities like Hit Factory, Masterdisk, Absolute Audio and Sterling Sound
Mastering. He leads our design team into the future and once in beta, the critical listening skills
of golden-eared luminaries are applied, with the result being musical tools that fulfill the actual
needs of today’s flexible computer based studio.
