Description

Electrodyne consoles served up some of the hottest hits of the late ’60s and early ’70s at top studios like Capitol, Warners, Stax, Decca, and Motown. Now the Electrodyne Summing Station fortifies your rack with the iconic Electrodyne sound from analog’s golden era. The Summing Station is, essentially, the center section of a classic 1970s Electrodyne large-format console, providing a 16-channel active summing network and stereo mix bus facilities for modern DAW-based studios. Boasting an extremely low-distortion balanced signal path for monitoring accuracy, the Summing Station uses classic Electrodyne design technology that includes original Electrodyne design output transformers, discrete transistor op-amps, and transformer control for “tight” vs. “warm” mix bus sonics.

Analog warmth and punch — optimized for the digital era

Can’t afford a vintage Electrodyne console for your DAW-based studio? No worries. Designed for professional project studios and production facilities, the Summing Station is perfect for enhancing clinical-sounding digital stems and mixes with classic Electrodyne analog warmth and punch. Optimized for the digital era, Summing Station delivers all the functionality you don’t get from your DAW.

In addition to its studio-grade 16-channel active summing network, the Summing Station includes a comprehensive Control Room Monitor section with Stereo Mix and Artist Cue facilities; a high-power, low-distortion headphone amplifier; a 3.5mm TRS Mobile Device input; Mono, Dim, and Mute controls; a Main/Alt Monitor selector with precision level trims for Alternate speakers; a precision-detented Control Room Level pot; and an integrated Talkback mic and CR-to-Studio Listen function. Lastly, you get the legendary all-discrete Electrodyne console sound in a compact, cost-effective package.

The Electrodyne legacy

As one of the very first console manufacturers, Electrodyne was instrumental in transforming the way records and films were recorded and mixed. Sweetwater is proud to be part of that great legacy. And we are very excited about the Electrodyne Summing Station — it sounds amazing! We’re sure you’ll agree.

The Liaison also lets your setup remain absolutely flexible — just what you need if you want to survive in a market that often demands recording, mixing, and mastering services from a single studio. The Liaison's claim to fame is that it combines your favorite pieces of music gear together in various configurations, allowing you to try out new gear combinations and recall them later. But there's a lot more to the Dangerous Music Liaison than mere signal routing.

Mix, match, store, and recall all your favorite gear combinations

Dangerous Music has always been dedicated to providing serious engineers with the most useful gear possible. They've upped the ante again, with the Liaison. The Liaison lets you experiment with different combinations of gear, giving you a total of six discrete 2-channel inputs and two 2-channel buses. Want to hear how that compressor sounds pre- and post-EQ? With a Liaison, you can audition various hardware combinations as easily as swapping around plug-ins in a DAW. What's more, you can store and recall your favorite setups, so you can keep that killer vocal compression chain or that thumping kick drum processing path close at hand.

Flexible stereo buses give you advanced configuration options

When we ran the Dangerous Music Liaison through its paces here at Sweetwater, we found that its stereo buses do more than just compare two discrete signal paths. Depending on how you configure them, these stereo buses can provide you with two completely independent, flexible signal chains, each serving as its own small routing matrix. You can also combine both buses to create a long and flexible continuous signal-processing chain, in which you can reorder entire sections of your gear setup. Even cooler, you can use the Liaison's buses to establish complex parallel signal processing — opening up limitless sonic possibilities.

Mastering-grade components for unrivaled sound quality

As is the case with all Dangerous Music products, the Liaison is made entirely from mastering-grade components, so you never have to worry about audio coloration or latency. In fact, when set to simply pass audio, professional grade testers used to measure the Liaison read as though they were plugged into themselves. Talk about quality control! Here are some of the other specifics. Both the inserts and the buses feature straight-wire, unamplified, balanced signal paths. All audio is relay-switched via top-quality, gas-filled, bifurcated contact relays — ensuring that all switching is absolutely noiseless. The rest of the Liaison's signal paths feature mastering-grade components made by THAT Corp. and Burr-Brown.

What the pros are saying about the LIAISON:

  • "The Dangerous LIAISON feels like engaging light-speed for my workflow...and make no mistake: workflow IS sound. The sheer speed at which you can do critical comparisons of entire signal chains does have a direct and positive impact how your music will sound." — Alberto Rizzo Schettino (Engineer)
  • "One of the best features of the LIAISON is the monitor outs...you can monitor the signal at four points in the chain: before and after Bus A and B. The usefulness of this feature is huge, and Dangerous deserves major props for including it! The switching of inserts is managed by beefy relays that are as transparent as any I've ever heard." — Adam Gonsalves (Mastering Engineer)
  • "LIAISON gives you the impetus to rethink how you record, mix, and master your music...[and] using the LIAISON is dead simple. I think of LIAISON not as an insert switcher, but as a creativity enabler." — Andy Hong (Writer/Reviewer)
  • "The Dangerous LIAISON is incredibly exciting. To have a device that lets you so easily switch between processors, swap the order of processors, do quick A-B comparisons of signal chains. It makes my work better!" — Jonathan Wyner (Mastering Engineer)
  • "Being able to switch devices from one bus to the other is extremely useful. The fast switching is amazing!" — Jeff Lipton (Mastering Engineer)
  • "The LIAISON is really important — I can do a lot of combinations of chaining gear and I am able to work a lot faster. Before the LIAISON [I had to] switch the patchbay and compare the sounds. Now I am 20-times faster than before, I like the way the LIAISON allows me to still be in the energy of the music. — Antoine "Chab" Chabert (Mastering Engineer)
  • "So happy with the LIAISON. Being able to switch gear in and out from the listening position without leaning over a patch bay is fantastic. After sitting in this chair for so many years, it actually improves my mixing ergonomics considerably." — Bob Power (Mastering Engineer)

Dangerous Music Liaison Features:

  • Flexible signal routing matrix that allows you to combine the gear in your studio in fun, exciting, and creative ways
  • Leverage all your gear, all the time
  • Improve your tracks, mixes, and masters by auditioning and marrying the perfect ensemble of equipment
  • 2 independent stereo buses mean you can set up 1 as a tracking path and the other as a mix path, without repatching, or chain them together
  • Separate parallel processing loop to let drums breathe and crush simultaneously
  • Create complex combinations of gear and A/B instantly
  • Store your favorite settings to recall any tracking, mixing, or mastering configuration
  • 6 stereo insert loops, assignable to 2 stereo buses
  • Mastering-grade components ensure silent, relay-based switching and color-free audio
