Dangerous Music MONITOR-SR Analog Surround Monitor Expansion Module for MONITOR-ST System

Dangerous Music MONITOR-SR Surround & Atmos Expansion Unit

The Dangerous Music MONITOR-SR is a professional-grade surround and immersive audio expansion module designed to extend the MONITOR-ST monitoring system into full multichannel formats. Built for high-end mixing, mastering, and post-production studios, it provides ultra-transparent analog routing, precision level control, and scalable surround monitoring up to complex immersive setups such as 5.1, 7.1, and Atmos configurations.

Surround Expansion for MONITOR-ST System

The MONITOR-SR is not a standalone monitor controller. It works in conjunction with the MONITOR-ST, expanding it into a fully configurable surround monitoring system. Additional SR units can be added to support larger immersive formats, making it scalable for advanced post-production and mastering environments.

Precision Analog Signal Routing

All audio routing inside the MONITOR-SR is handled via high-quality relay switching and analog stepped attenuation, ensuring that signal integrity remains completely transparent. This design eliminates unwanted coloration and maintains accurate stereo and surround imaging throughout the monitoring chain.

Flexible Surround and Subwoofer Management

The system supports complex speaker configurations including multiple surround layouts and subwoofer routing options. Engineers can assign and manage speaker sets, LFE channels, and subwoofer filtering with precise control, allowing accurate calibration for different studio environments.

Programmable Level Control and Calibration

Each channel includes programmable gain offsets and trim controls, enabling precise level matching between speakers and sources. This ensures consistent perceived loudness across all channels, which is critical for accurate surround mixing and mastering.

Studio-Grade Monitoring Features

The MONITOR-SR integrates comprehensive monitoring tools including speaker mute, solo, dim functions, and source selection output for external metering. It also includes talkback and cue system integration when paired with the MONITOR-ST system.

Designed for High-End Immersive Audio Workflows

Engineered by Dangerous Music for mastering-grade accuracy, the MONITOR-SR is widely used in film post-production, broadcast, and high-end music studios where absolute monitoring precision and flexible surround routing are required.
