EDMESTON, NY - Dangerous Music (www.dangerousmusic.com), is now shipping two new products designed to solve monitoring problems associated with DAW-based recording and mixing in studio environments not employing a traditional console.
The Dangerous Monitor ST is a remote control-based input source and speaker switcher with integrated cue and talkback systems, including an onboard headphone power amplifier – all combined in just one rack space. The Monitor SR is a companion, one-rack space expansion module that provides full 5.1 surround monitoring capabilities. Studios working in stereo can start with the ST and later expand to surround by adding the SR unit with no equipment redundancy or obsolescence. With the cat-5 connected remote control unit, included with the Monitor ST, engineers can configure and control an entire system from the comfort of the studio’s sweet spot.
Four input sources allow users to switch between DAW outputs, DVD player, CD player, tape machines, and other gear. Three speaker outputs plus subwoofers allow users to switch between three sets of monitors, two of which can be surround set-ups. An assignable subwoofer output lets users choose and store which sets of speakers are used with the sub. An on-board cue power amp provides 40 watts of clean power to headphones.
The Dangerous Monitor ST is priced at $2,199, while the Monitor SR expander costs $1,499.
