Dangerous Music CONVERT-2

Description

Hear Everything. Except the Converter.
D/A Conversion has been an integral part of the Dangerous Music
legacy since 2002, when the Dangerous Monitor® created a new reference
for mastering engineers. The legacy continued with the DAC-ST, D-Box,
and Source. The Convert series represents a new generation of
D/A conversion that maintains all the qualities that have made Dangerous
converters the choice of tracking, mixing and mastering engineers
worldwide, while incorporating the latest advancements in audio
electronics technology to once again raise the bar.

Hi Definition Stereo Reference Monitoring
Audiophile Mastering Front End Playback Conversion
USB Input for Direct DAW Connectivity

The Convert-2 was designed from the ground up with a zero-compromise
attitude. Decades of accumulated knowledge and experience were leveraged
to create a truly exceptional converter. Adhering to the
core philosophies of “transparent, yet musical” that have come to
define Dangerous, the Convert-2 is profoundly detailed, with a richly
defined low end and an unparalleled clarity that holds true across the
entire audio spectrum.

5 Digital Input Formats: USB, AES, SPDIF, ADAT, Optical SPDIF (Toslink)
Compatible with Monitor ST/SR for Remote Switching
USB digital pass through (see below):

One of the unique features of the Convert-2 is the bi-directional
USB, allowing both sending and receiving of digital audio. The signal
applied to the AES-2 input of the Convert-2 can be simultaneously routed
to the USB path, allowing you to send digital audio to your DAW from
any other digital source.
The Convert-2 also features a custom volume pot that can be used in one of two scenarios:
1. Use it as a volume knob, connecting the L-R analog Outputs directly to a pair of studio monitors.
2. Turned fully clockwise, a switch engages a relay, removing the pot
entirely from the signal path allowing the user to utilize Convert-2
with an external monitor controller.
