The Most Musical 500-Series EQ
The Dangerous Music BAX500 brings the legendary, ultra-musical Baxandall curves to a single-slot 500-series module. Broad shelves shape several octaves at once, so each small move delivers a big result: open top, solid bottom, and a polished, expensive sense of dimension that helps your mix feel finished—not EQ’d.
Built for tracking, mixing, and mastering, BAX500 delivers the classic Dangerous BAX tone-shaping workflow in a compact format, with High and Low shelves plus High Cut and Low Cut filters to control the frequency extremes that steal headroom and cloud translation. Use one for single sources or run a pair for stereo buses when you need that audiophilia BAX high-fidelity sweetening on your mix.
FEATURES
Reimagines the common Baxandall circuit with the purity of design from one of the last great analog designers. It broadly unlocks the depth, sheen, and gravitas to help you stop mixing and finish it.
Broad shelving shapes several octaves at once, so each small move delivers a big result with open top, solid bottom, and a polished, expensive sense of dimension.
High Cut and Low Cut filters help remove infrasonic rumble and ultrasonic interference that quietly eat headroom, smear transients, and cloud translation.
Wide-band shelving behavior shapes broad ranges smoothly and naturally, minimizing phase incoherence and harshness that can appear with narrow, surgical EQ moves.
Musical 12 dB-per-octave filter slopes deliver smooth, natural results that sound clean and artifact-free while controlling frequency extremes.
Gentle ±5 dB gain range encourages musical decisions instead of destructive moves, with small boosts or cuts often delivering surprisingly large results.
Relay-controlled hard-wired bypass completely removes the filters or entire circuit from the signal path for true A/B comparisons with no buffering or coloration.
Mastering-grade components are selected for both performance and sound, delivering stunning imaging, headroom, punch, and detail.
DC-coupled signal path avoids transformers and electrolytic capacitors, preserving transparency, low-end clarity, and phase accuracy.
