Cranborne Audio 500 Series Bundle

The Cranborne Audio Camden, Carnaby and Brick Lane 500 Bundle delivers premium transparent preamplification, cutting-edge harmonic-EQ shaping and state-of-the-art modal PWM compression for engineers who demand pristine fidelity, musical saturation and unrivalled analogue dynamic control within a professional 500-series setup.

Ultimate Front-End Transparency and Tone Sculpting

Cranborne Audio designed the Camden 500 to serve as a flagship front-end with astonishing noise performance, ultra-low THD+N figures as low as 0.0002 percent and ruler-flat frequency and phase response across its entire gain range. Engineers gain up to 68 dB of clean headroom suitable for low-output microphones while maintaining absolute precision, clarity and transient accuracy. When required, the Camden's Mojo circuit unlocks discrete analogue flavour without transformers, offering Thump for enhanced low-frequency weight and Cream for rich saturated harmonics, forward presence and transient smoothing without smear or EQ phase artefacts.

Next-Generation Harmonic EQ and Dynamic Sweetening

Carnaby 500 advances equalisation by combining a three-band sweepable parametric layout with proprietary Harmonic EQ technology, using saturated boost and cut profiles that grow dynamically with input level. The high band extends from 5 to 25 kHz to enhance air and realism on cymbals and acoustic recordings. The low band sweeps from 420 Hz down to 20 Hz and uses controlled hard-clipping to reinforce body, warmth and subweight, from subtle enhancement to dramatic low-frequency augmentation. The mid band shapes 200 Hz to 6.2 kHz with harmonic enrichment for vocal focus and enhanced instrument detail. Engineers adjust input and output gain by ±20 dB per band for creative drive, controlled colour or clean analogue tone. Optosync stereo link allows wireless control between units for perfectly matched stereo work.

Revolutionary Modal PWM Compression

Brick Lane 500 redefines analogue compression using Cranborne's Modal PWM topology, giving full envelope control, varied harmonic behaviour and unmatched transparency or aggression depending on the selected character. Velvet delivers smooth tube-like musicality, Float offers liquid opto-style dynamics, Smash provides fast and explosive FET-inspired energy, Tame excels in ultra-fast transient conditioning, Glue brings mix-bus cohesion and Polish offers true analogue lookahead limiting for mastering-grade peak control. Each mode reshapes attack, release, knee and saturation curves while the Stress parameter introduces harmonics that evolve per mode. True analogue signal integrity, variable sidechain filtering and high-resolution metering ensure deep control and mastering-grade precision. Optosync again enables wireless stereo linking for dual-unit pairing across mix buses or multi-channel setups.

Professional Build Quality

Each module features custom detented controls for repeatable recall, refined analogue paths and automatic calibration to guarantee consistent performance. Robust mechanical engineering ensures long-term reliability and alignment within 500-series workflows.

The Cranborne Audio Camden, Carnaby and Brick Lane 500 Bundle equips modern engineers with a complete front-end solution: pristine gain, musical tone shaping, advanced harmonic control and world-leading analogue compression.
