Dedicated Multi-Channel Digital-to-Analog Conversion<\/strong>
\nWhether you\u2019re tracking, mixing or mastering, the CONVERT-8 will deliver powerful low-end, articulate mids and transcendent highs to every channel in your analog rig. Patched into one of our award-winning analog summing units like the 2-BUS+ or the D-BOX \u2013 or to your favorite analog console \u2013 the CONVERT-8 will empower you to create the spacious, three-dimensional soundscapes that only real analog summing can deliver. Compatible with all of today\u2019s digital signals (including the ubiquitous ADAT format)\u00a0the CONVERT-8 is ready to take on any mixing or monitoring job from standard stereo and 2.1 to 5.1 and the increasingly popular 7.1 surround format. Recognizing the needs of those who don\u2019t need more analog inputs, the CONVERT-8 brings today\u2019s very best digital-to-analog conversion within reach of any studio.<\/p>\n

Our next-generation converters<\/strong>
\nDangerous has been building award-winning, standard-setting converters since 2002 when the Dangerous Monitor\u2019s onboard digital-to-analog converter swiftly became the industry reference. We\u2019ve been asked over the years to build a stand alone DAC, and they\u2019re finally here in the CONVERT series. Eager to embrace the opportunity to develop a new and better DAC, we designed the CONVERT-8 from the ground up, utilizing cutting-edge digital technology coupled to a Chris Muth designed analog circuit that delivers our signature sound: open, articulate and powerful from top to bottom. As a dedicated digital-to-analog converter, The CONVERT-8 has been optimized for the job of delivering stunning sound when mixing, mastering and monitoring while tracking. The CONVERT-8 goes beyond transparency: you won\u2019t just hear everything, you\u2019ll hear it beautifully.<\/p>\n

It’s all about implementation<\/strong>
\nWhile in theory most converters should be the same, among those who truly understand this hotly debated and endlessly researched area of audio technology, the mantra is implementation, implementation, implementation. How a converter\u2019s components are selected, tweaked and assembled according to a specific design, and then tuned for superior performance within that plan is what sets a converter apart \u2013 for better or worse. The Dangerous CONVERT-8 has been developed by a team of experts with deep, up-to-the-minute knowledge of digital and analog converter technology.<\/p>\n

Fine tuning the analog side<\/strong>
\nA legend among mixing and mastering engineers for decades, Chris Muth has designed the analog gear used to mix and master an endless list of hit records and classic reissues. Chris\u2019s powerful, articulate, hi-fi designs dominated the big studios in New York City since the 1980s, and via Dangerous his designs have become essential components in the best modern mixing and mastering DAW-based studios. When we set out to develop a new dedicated stereo D-A converter, Chris brought his relentless design philosophy and world-renowned sound to the CONVERT\u2019s analog technology. Not only did he develop the audiophile-grade analog audio path, Chris also meticulously fine tuned the low-pass reconstruction filters mandatory to implementing any DAC. These filters lie at the heart of how a converter will perform, and the CONVERT series has the jaws of top pros hitting the floor when they hear the big natural sound and the powerful, ultra-clear low-end.<\/p>\n

Perfecting the digital side<\/strong>
\nWe brought in digital guru Paul Messick to make sure the digital side of the CONVERT series would sing in perfect harmony with its finely tuned analog circuit. Paul rigorously refined the CONVERT\u2019s JetPLL ultra-low jitter clocking technology until it surpassed the JET\u2019s stated specs, resulting in the virtual elimination of jitter in the audio-band and beyond. Gone are the sonic headaches and end-of-day fatigue brought on by long-term exposure to jittery digital audio systems. The CONVERT-8\u2019s superbly implemented digital technology delivers such a natural, open and non-irritating sound that you\u2019ll forget you\u2019re even listening to converted 0s and 1s.<\/p>\n

Detailed information & delightful inspiration<\/strong>
\nReaching beyond transparency and accuracy, the sound of the CONVERT-8 is so open and 3-dimensional that many are saying that these are the most beautiful, natural sounding converters they\u2019ve ever heard. Whether your focus is tracking, mixing or mastering, when you choose a dedicated DAC, you\u2019re choosing the unit you\u2019ll trust to make all your judgements. You need your DAC to be honest, but you also need it to sound beautiful. With the CONVERT you get the uncanny combination of detailed information and delightful inspiration. \u00a0Coupled with any of our analog summing mixers \u2013 or with your favorite console \u2013 the CONVERT-8 not only assures that you\u2019ll hear the best sound possible, but you\u2019ll be printing that amazing sound into your final prints.<\/p>\n

Your new master clock<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s no secret that many digital audio systems are slaved to the best sounding clock in the rack, and The CONVERT\u2019s customized JetPLL ultra-low jitter technology is winning shootouts again and again \u2013 subsequently sending expensive external clocks into retirement. Simply use the Word Clock output and set the CONVERT into Master mode from the front panel, and all the digital gear in your studio can benefit from The CONVERT\u2019s cutting-edge Jitter Elimination Technology (JET).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
