Legendary rocker Edgar Winter—yeah, the guy behind “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride”—just pulled a game-changing move in his studio. He was gearing up for a new album when something felt… off. Despite upgrades to his gear, his mixes were flat. No punch, no clarity, especially in the mids. That’s when Grammy-winning producer Ross Hogarth stepped in with a hot take: maybe the issue wasn’t the speakers—it was the monitor controller.

Winter gave the Dangerous MONITOR-ST a spin.
And according to him, it flipped everything.
“The difference was beyond anything I had ever imagined,” he said. “It was as though a veil had been lifted, and all that subtle detail restored. The room was alive again.”
When a guy like Edgar Winter calls a piece of gear a “saving grace,” people tend to listen. And for good reason. The Dangerous MONITOR-ST is a studio centerpiece. Built by Chris Muth, it’s all about transparent, audiophile-grade monitoring with killer features like remote-controlled switching, cue and talkback, and even subwoofer output. No gimmicks, no fluff—just straight-up precision.
Winter’s message to other musicians?
Don’t sleep on the gear between your converters and your monitors.
“If you’ve experienced anything similar to what I’ve just described, I highly recommend the Dangerous MONITOR-ST,” he added. “It may well be the saving grace and answer to all your problems, as it was to mine.”
And yeah, it costs $2499, but considering the kind of artists who trust Dangerous Music—this thing isn’t just for casuals. Dangerous Music is known for pushing audiophile standards to the front of the mix, literally. Their gear’s been a favorite in serious studios for years, and the MONITOR-ST just adds another layer to their rep.
Winter’s shoutout makes one thing clear: even legends need to shake up their workflow now and then. And when the usual upgrades don’t cut it, sometimes the fix is in the one place you didn’t think to look. For Winter, that fix came in the form of the Dangerous MONITOR-ST—and he hasn’t looked back since.
