The Dangerous Music BAX EQ is a beautifully realized tone control unit – it’s not a full-blown parametric, but the wide Q shelving and clean headroom make it ideal for subtle shaping and mastering. If you're a mixing engineer or mastering engineer seeking a transparent and musical EQ for adding polish and air, this is a serious contender, but be prepared for a premium-priced investment.
