D-BOX

 |  3

OVERVIEW

 

The D-Box is Dangerous Music’s Greatest Hits Box.  In other words, it incorporates some of the finest features and 
functionality from other products in the line with ZERO audio compromise.  Analog summing, headphone amplification, 
speaker selection, talkback and monitoring functions are all neatly tucked away into this powerful single rack space.  
The D-Box provides solutions to the practical, daily needs of today’s compact computer based studio, and executes 
them with no audio sacrifice.

How is this possible?

Only the most useful and requested options were incorporated into the design, with sonic purity being prioritized over 
feature count.  This unadulterated signal path was born out of Chris Muth’s design expertise and the critical listening 
skills of top-tier engineers. Enjoy.

[The Dangerous Music D-Box and Power Supply pictured above]

Inside the box you’ll find the D-Box and Power Supply.

Tip: 

,

 Why is there an external power supply?  To lower the already unbelievably low noise floor.  Make certain to  

position it away from sensitive audio components and audio cables.  Also plug it into the D-Box BEFORE 
plugging it into the wall.

Place the D-Box in your rack, where it’s easily accessible, since you’ll be tweaking the knobs and buttons frequently.
