Overview

The Dangerous BAX EQ was inspired by Peter Baxandall’s legendary 1950’s design that has graced
hundreds of millions of home hi-fi systems. The BAX EQ’s unique design carves broad, open curves and
gentle sloping cuts that are essential for recording, mixing and mastering. Seeking the elusive Top 10
vocal sound? Add that perfect sheen of air. Chasing the chunk in grinding guitars? Dial in the meat. Lush
midrange, bottomless bass, and space are achieved effortlessly. Please welcome the BAX EQ to your tools
for success- no radical sonic signature to overshadow the music... just your music: neater, richer, sweeter.

This plug-in has been faithfully modeled by BRAINWORX after the original BAX EQ hardware and
schematics, in close cooperation with the knowledgeable people from DANGEROUS MUSIC USA.

Using this plug-in will not only give you access to the standard BAX EQ features, but we even have added
a Dual-Mono and M/S Mastering Version. 

[BAX EQ - MIX VERSION PICTURED ABOVE]

[BAX EQ - MASTER VERSION PICTURED ABOVE]

Both versions will give you the exact same & original sound of the famous BAX EQ.

The MIX version is a single-control version which cannot be adjusted differently between left and right
channels (something the hardware offers), but is therefore easier to adjust with a mouse whenever there is
no need for different settings on L/R channels.

The MASTERING version is an enhanced 2RU version which enables you to adjust L/R channels with
different settings, just like the hardware does. In addition we have added an M/S mode which lets you
control the MID & SIDE signals of a stereo mix. Widen the stereo image, mono out your bass frequencies,
or just get creative.
