Cranborne say their Brick Lane is the fastest compressor in the West — but it’s also capable of modelling the characteristics of classic opto, FET and valve units, and much more.
Digital modelling has become so powerful that you might think there wasn’t much mileage left in the idea of analogue emulation. If you can accurately mimic some piece of vintage gear in a few lines of code, why bother developing and building complex analogue circuits to do the same thing?
Brick Lane 500 is an all-analogue PWM compressor that promises to deliver a huge tonal range thanks to six different operating modes and a variable Stress control designed to introduce some harmonic saturation.
You could win a superb Carnaby HE2 rackmount EQ from Cranborne Audio, worth £2199$2199. Enter to win!
Can an old container really be turned into a viable music production space?
“We had always planned for Carnaby HE2 to be more than just two Carnaby 500s in a box,” say Cranborne. But how much more?
Cranborne Audio's new HE2 combines two channels of their innovative Harmonic EQ circuitry with mid-side processing and remote control/setting recall from a DAW plug-in.
This innovative 500-series EQ from Cranborne Audio takes a completely new approch to equalisation, with each of its three bands offering variable amounts of harmonic saturation.
It’s equalisation, Jim... but not as we know it!
Cat cabling is cheap and readily available — and there’s no reason you can’t use it to run balanced analogue audio signals all over the place!
