Win! Cranborne 500R8 & Camden 500 Preamps worth £2200$2400.
Do you integrate analogue gear with your DAW? The Cranborne Audio 500R8 makes this easier than ever, by combining a modern USB audio interface and analogue processing to create the ultimate digital/analogue hybrid system. By using the expansive 500‑series standard, the 500R8 gives you the opportunity to build your own custom recording and hybrid mixing system with endless possibilities of analogue flavours seamlessly integrated into your DAW-based workflow. Fill it full of tasty preamps when you are recording. Fill it full of EQs and compressors when you are mixing. The 500R8’s built-in USB audio interface takes care of all the conversion, routing, and cable spaghetti to allow you to fully integrate your 500‑series modules into your DAW and concentrate on making great music rather than fighting drop-down menus, licensing hassle, and the CPU limitations of software plugins — and better still, your system is your own, for you, built to your taste. And it looks cool in your studio!
More than just a 500 series rack with converters built-in, the 500R8 is also an analogue summing mixer, studio monitor controller, reference headphone amplifier, and mixing station — combining all of the elements required in the modern recording studio. But it’s more than the sum of its parts. Each element has been carefully considered, designed, and perfected to work together and provide you with the best of everything, and in some cases better than what you find in standalone units. To find out more, read our in-depth review of the 500R8 in SOS September 2019 issue.
