Dangerous Music has announced the release of a single-slot 500-series EQ that brings the legendary, ultra-musical sound of the acclaimed BAX EQ into a compact modular format. Designed with zero compromise, BAX500 delivers wide, high-fidelity tone shaping that helps mixes feel finished—not EQ’d.
Built for tracking, mixing, and mastering, BAX500 pairs broad shelving EQ with high cut and low cut filters to control the frequency extremes that quietly steal headroom and cloud translation. Whether used on individual sources or as a matched pair across stereo buses, BAX500 delivers the unmistakable audiophilic BAX high-fidelity sweetening trusted by engineers worldwide.
“The BAX EQ has a pure fidelity—you won’t realize it’s on until it’s bypassed and you miss it,” said marek stycos, President of Dangerous Music. “With tenacious ingenuity we were able to faithfully pack all of the original circuitry and sonics into the smaller form factor of the BAX500.”
