Dangerous BAX EQ Collection
-
Sweeten your mixes with one of
the smoothest EQs around.
The Dangerous BAX EQ Plug-In Collection is a powerful tool for shaping and enhancing the tonality and character of your music. Designed as a “finishing EQ,” the BAX EQ Collection is an authentic plug-in emulation of this studio staple for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces.
Apply sweet, musical EQ tweaks based on Peter Baxandall's legendary 1950s EQ circuitry
Rid your mix of unwanted subsonic frequencies, cleaning up the low-end and increasing your headroom
Tame high-end harshness while simultaneously opening up your mixes with air and transparency
Enhance stereo imagery and depth with Mid/Side function on stereo “Master” version
“The Dangerous BAX EQ is my new favorite box to put across my whole mix. It lets me achieve that modern pop brightness without any of the usual sibilance or harshness. The super low-end is fat without being muddy.”
– Fab Dupont (Shakira, Santigold, Jennifer Lopez)
“As an avid user of the hardware, I was stoked to see the UAD BAX EQ Collection. After using the BAX EQ Master plug-in with the M/S option, I have only one word — awesome.”
– John Paterno (Robbie Williams, Badly Drawn Boy, Bonnie Raitt)Customer Reviews

I hesitated a while but what made the final decision to buy this plug-in is the bottom end of the sub frequencies. It does nog have al lot of color but it does if you get me.. It’s between the Maselec and the Manley just another useful tool to handle specific frequencies for different genres by the needs of the moment.

BAX Dangerous
I wouldn’t master without this! Faithfully replicates the physical h/w. Powerful EQ adjustments can be achieved by the unique shelving options & Db levels offered to create pleasing bass / treble balance with sympathetic mids. A tool you wouldn’t think of necessarily but can’t live without once you use it! Harnesses in overtly bold bass &/or treble excess or just refines nicely for already modest stereo master mixes

Amazing !
Top of the top in final touch ! 20/20

Mastering chain
Hello UAD so will keep this short and sweet `EXCELLENT` you would be hard pressed to noice any difference from the headwear. UAD has completely changed the way I mix and master music. 100% game changing.. Thanks to you all..

P. Preloznik
Great plugin
Great plugin for improving lo- or hi-end, mono-ing the bass etc. Probably, it will occur on each of my master-chains.

This makes every mix and master better
It is truly an outstanding plug in that helps add clarity to every mix and master. it is purely magical
D. Mai
As expected!
Great stuff as usual.
All I am missing now is a full controller integration - for all uad products (I love softube, but...)
Still fully recommendable!J. Roberts
Love it!
I love it - it is everything the ads say and it was usable right away~

EQ subtile mais parfaite
EQ subtile mais parfaite, pour du mastering sourtout mais aussi pour une strip de console.

Amazing!
I started using this eq as a Plugin Alliance version but stopped due to tech issues with my computer. After getting my computer fixed and my studio running I wanted it but I wanted to own it. I saw UAD had this. And as soon as it went on sale I pulled the trigger. Now this next to my Avalon 737 plugin and my Pultec Pro is my absolute killer setup. It’s my go to for every mix and master. I had a chance to hear the hardware a while back. This sounds better than the PA version and exactly like the hardware! I love this eq! Absolutely! It’s a great Smile EQ! Perfect for mastering and mixing.
UAD is miles ahead of the competition.UAD User
Does what you need it to do
Been using it for some Masters recently. The Mid/Side capabilities are really useful, especially the volume balance knobs. Quick for readjusting a mix and creating width. The EQ has a very subtle sound which is awesome, not at all harsh.

Smooooooooooth

Amazing
I started a mastering company using this... it’s that good.

Indispensable m/s EQ
The "Master" version of this plugin, in m/s mode, has become a staple in my mixes when I want to enhance stereo presence.
