| DANGEROUS MUSIC 2-BUS + : Quickstart Guide UNPACK AND POWER UP Remove the 2-BUS+ from the box along with the included IEC power cable and plug the unit into AC mains power.

2-BUS+ | down the road. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can work in the analog environment. TIP: Try mixing without any plug-ins. Many mixing engineers used to working in the box depend on plug-ins to get their mixes to come together, but when you mix in the analog realm some of those plug-ins might be holding your original sounds back. Deinstantiate all of them and get a cool balance happening in the analog environment. -
Page 8: 2-Bus : Front Panel Features & Benefits
| DANGEROUS MUSIC 2-BUS + : Front Panel Features & Benefits 01. LED METERING [SIGNAL PRESENT LEDS PICTURED ABOVE] Feature: LED Metering. Benefit: Verify audio is present on any of the 16 channel inputs- simplifies troubleshooting. Tip: LEDs will either be dark when no audio is present or green when signal is present. They will not turn red for overload- because the 2-BUS+ has more headroom built in than any D/A converter set to standard calibrations (meaning you will clip in your DAW before you ever get close to clipping the 2-BUS+). -
Page 9: Effects Control: Parallel & Series Processing
2-BUS+ | 03. EFFECTS CONTROL: PARALLEL & SERIES PROCESSING [PARALLEL & SERIES PROCESSING KNOBS PICTURED ABOVE] Feature: Each of the three color options are controlled individually via a continuously variable potentiometer. Both Harmonics and Paralimit are blended using parallel processing. The X-Former is wired in series, meaning that the CineMag transformers are patched across the stereo mix directly, rather than blended in parallel. -
