DANGEROUS MUSIC
09. S&M WIDTH KNOB
[SUM AND MINUS WIDTH CONTROL PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Increase or decrease the stereo image.
Benefit: Access real-time, analog S&M with precise width adjustments at the press of a button and
twist of a knob. This Muth original analog design is sonically far more pleasurable than a
plugin simulacrum.
Tip:
,
Activating S&M without ‘INSERT 2’ selected still passes audio through the matrix. Remember,
while S&M is fun, too much can prove dangerous.
10. OUTPUT KNOB
[OUTPUT KNOB PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Dial in the perfect final level presented to the A/D converter.
Benefit: The level controls are all stepped attenuators for accuracy, repeatability, and purest
sound quality.
Tip:
,
The range is 10dB in 0.5 dB steps.
Tip:
,
The attenuators are built with what we feel are the highest quality switches and resistors
available at any cost. It is useful to gently turn the switches through’ their travel every so
often to spread the lubricants around inside and wipe the contacts clean. This helps keep the
switches quiet. The use of contact cleaners is not necessary and will damage the switches by
washing the grease out.
