The addition of high and low-frequency shaping controls, each with individual bypass options, allows for detailed sound tailoring. Furthermore, the mid\/side processing capability of the Carnaby HE2 is invaluable for mastering and sound design applications, as it allows for separate adjustments to the mid and side components of a stereo signal. Finally, bypassable TRS inserts on each channel facilitate outboard hardware integration with the HarmonicEQ® processing, enabling a flexible and powerful setup for professional audio engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/files\/tags-1.jpg?v=1748365545\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cranborne Audio Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47866828259620,"sku":"ITM009160","price":2082.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/files\/HE2_LE_Angle.jpg?v=1786367501"},{"product_id":"cranborne-audio-brick-lane-mc4","title":"Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"271\" data-end=\"659\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 19 inch 2U digitally controlled four-channel fully analogue Modal PWM dynamics processor that combines multi-mode compression, analogue lookahead gating, harmonic saturation, Mid Side routing, dual-band processing, de-essing and network-enabled recall into a single mastering-grade dynamics platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eBrick Lane MC4 expands the architecture introduced in the Brick Lane 500 by delivering four discrete analogue PWM dynamics engines under full digital control. It preserves the musical behaviour, harmonic interaction and non-linear dynamics response of classic analogue compressors while introducing routing flexibility, multi-stage dynamics architectures and precision recall expected in modern hybrid studios. The unit supports mono, stereo, Mid Side, dual-band and series configurations without requiring external patching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eModal PWM Dynamics Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003eBrick Lane MC4 applies proprietary Modal PWM gain control to reshape compression envelopes, detector behaviour, saturation topology and time constants at circuit level rather than through conventional ratio based control. This design allows the compressor to operate across fundamentally different behaviours while retaining extremely low distortion, ultra-fast response and programme dependent harmonic behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"2033\"\u003eSix modal compression types provide distinct analogue topologies. Velvet delivers tube-inspired musical compression, Float provides opto-style transparency, Smash produces aggressive FET-style transient control, Tame enables ultra-fast surgical dynamics, Glue supplies bus compression cohesion and Polish functions as a mastering-grade analogue limiter using predictive lookahead control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003eHarmonic Saturation and Stress Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2083\" data-end=\"2608\"\u003eThe Stress circuit introduces dynamically linked analogue harmonic saturation that evolves in response to gain reduction, envelope shape and programme level. Each compression mode deploys a dedicated multi-band saturation topology which recreates the natural interaction between dynamics and harmonic density found in classic analogue designs. This architecture allows Brick Lane MC4 to provide tonal enhancement that remains inherently connected to dynamic behaviour rather than applying static saturation after compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2650\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2614\" data-end=\"2650\"\u003eENIGMA Advanced Dynamics Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"3047\"\u003eENIGMA exposes normally inaccessible analogue compression parameters and allows direct control of compression knee behaviour, attack and release weighting, detector emphasis and frequency-sensitive response shaping. These parameters allow Brick Lane MC4 to adapt a single compression mode across radically different sources and artistic objectives while retaining predictable analogue behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3053\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003eRouting Flexibility and Multi-Stage Dynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3688\"\u003eEach of the four dynamics channels operates independently or in linked configurations. Stereo and Mid Side routing maintains image stability and allows independent centre and width control for mastering and mix bus applications. Series routing allows two channels to process a single signal path sequentially to divide gain reduction across stages, reducing artefacts while increasing control. Dual-band mode splits audio into low and high frequency bands and processes each band independently to stabilise low-frequency energy and preserve transient clarity without phase degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3690\" data-end=\"3730\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3694\" data-end=\"3730\"\u003eDe-Essing and Analogue Lookahead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3732\" data-end=\"4113\"\u003eA dedicated De-Esser mode applies analogue lookahead detection to anticipate sibilant transients before gain reduction. This architecture prevents overshoot and pumping while delivering precise high-frequency attenuation that maintains tonal integrity. The same predictive voltage detection underpins the compression and gate circuits, enabling true zero-latency transient control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"4115\" data-end=\"4157\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4119\" data-end=\"4157\"\u003eSidechain and External Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4159\" data-end=\"4618\"\u003eBrick Lane MC4 provides four assignable external sidechain inputs and fully flexible internal sidechain routing. Each compressor may select its own input signal, another channel or any external sidechain source. Balanced insert points on all four channels allow external analogue hardware to integrate directly into the internal processing chain. Insert routing remains available within Mid Side encoding stages to support independent mid and side processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"4620\" data-end=\"4653\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4624\" data-end=\"4653\"\u003eRemote Control and Recall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4655\" data-end=\"4915\"\u003eUSB and Ethernet connectivity allow full remote control, automation and recall through the dedicated control plugin.
