Dangerous Music D-BOX+ 8-Channel Summing Mixer and Controller With USB and Bluetooth

The Dangerous Music D-BOX+ is an improved version of the renowned D-BOX controller and summing mixer. This 8-channel summing mixer and D-A stereo converter provide bold and clear sound. Dangerous Music has also added Bluetooth connectivity and an app for wireless control.

Like a large console’s center section, the D-BOX+ provides elaborate routing and switching of your studio’s inputs and outputs, both analog and digital. At the push of a button, you can select from five input sources: analog stereo, the onboard analog summing mixer, USB, AES/SPDIF and—brand new for the D-BOX+—a wireless Bluetooth stream from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Outputs include three stereo speaker ports, and these can be programmed to be mono and/or to include a subwoofer. Further, you can use output 3 as source for an independent sub with individual level and mute control.

Any studio situation, but especially tracking sessions, call for independent monitor routing for artist and engineer. With the D-BOX+ you have two totally independent monitoring sections: Control Room and Headphones. With the simple push of a button, you can assign any of the five input sources to either of these monitoring paths, making what would otherwise be elaborate patches into instant choices. Want to check on your monitors what your artist is hearing in their headphones? Seamless source switching is simple.

Using the D-BOX+ Bluetooth app, on any current phone, tablet or computer, you are no longer bound to your chair when you need control your studio. All major functions of the D-BOX+ show up in the highly intuitive and rock-solid program, providing limitless new solutions to age-old studio problems. Want to listen to an artist’s instrument in the live room while switching monitoring sources in their headphones? No problem. Want to give a couch-bound producer control over the talkback mic through their phone? Simple. Want to listen to your mixes from the hallway while still swapping monitors or switching a sub in and out? You got it. If you can dream it up, the D-BOX+ app will deliver.

The D-A converters have been at the heart of award-winning tracking, mixing and mastering studios for decades. Advanced clock stabilization, top-of-class chip sets, and uncompromising analog signal path add up to a D-A that’s as powerful as it is nuanced. Clarity and musicality of your digital sources are no longer trade-offs, but will come together for the best possible monitoring available in any price category, and the D-BOX+ is loaded with three: USB, AES/SPDIF and Bluetooth.

A great session requires a great headphone mix, and a great headphone mix requires a great headphone amp. With the D-BOX+ you get two of them. These potent amps are so clean, powerful and accurate that many engineers use them exclusively for fine-grained quality control listening right before delivering a record to market. With the easy yet elaborate routing capabilities of the D-BOX+, you’ll be able to send any source to either headphone amp from either the front panel or remotely from within the D-BOX+ app.

DAWs are incredible tools, but they don’t offer all the tools you need to make your studio sessions run like clockwork. The onboard talkback mic of the D-BOX+ offers a simple, time-honored solution to one of a studio’s most basic needs. Now that you can control that talkback mic from anywhere via the D-BOX+ app, you’ll find yourself waving your arms far less and communicating more effectively with your collaborators.

USB audio connectivity has come a long way over the past decade, and Dangerous Music has been at the forefront of its development the entire time. With the D-BOX+, you not only get an ultrafast, low-latency USB port, you also get the latest driverless connectivity on macOS, and flawless driver support on current Windows computers. Say goodbye to fussing around with software just to get up and running, and say hello to plug-and-play connectivity.

Anyone who has heard what a Dangerous Music summing mixer can do to improve the sonic impact, panning, depth and width of a mix knows that there’s no substitute for analog summing when it’s done right. D-BOX+ has helped get stellar results from traditional routing of subgroups to separate analog channels all the way to routing multiple effects returns to their own analog paths for unrivaled dimensionality. Mixing is an art form, and this analog summing mixer will help you create masterpieces.
