Cranborne Audio

Providing versatile 3-band parametric EQ, wonderfully warm saturation, and seamless control for multi-module setups, the Carnaby 500 from Cranborne Audio is a 500-series EQ module with a unique Harmonic EQ circuit that uses harmonic saturation to either boost or cut frequencies by 10 dB. Unlike many other EQ modules, the Carnaby 500 has a highly dynamic and musical response, which increases the amount of harmonics that are boosted or cut as the circuit is driven harder.The input and output controls offer 20 dB of gain for perfectly dialing in saturation and distortion levels and all front-panel controls are stepped for easy and efficient recall of settings. The Carnaby 500 is extremely well outfitted for multi-module setups in 500-series racks, with auto-calibrated circuitry for perfect stereo matching, innovative OptoSync technology for wireless stereo linking of modules, and a 3.5mm TRS input for linking of non-adjacent modules.Hi Band The Hi band has a frequency range from 5 to 25 kHz and uses smooth saturation to naturally extend high frequencies beyond the audio band for ultimate air and breath on vocals and acoustic instruments.Lo Band The Lo band has a frequency range of 420 down to 20 Hz and uses hard-clipping saturation to extend sub-harmonic frequencies into the audible low-end perfect for subtle low-end warming or extreme sub-harmonic saturation.Mid Band The Mid band is a peaking filter with a fixed Q and a wide sweepable frequency range from 200 Hz up to 6.2 kHz. It uses saturation to add harmonic emphasis to the source anywhere in the frequency range.Stereo Linking via OptoSync Carnaby 500 not only features a world-first EQ circuit, but it also has an innovative stereo-linking feature called OptoSync, which enables two Carnaby 500 units to work as a perfect stereo pair for mixes and stereo sources. Using OptoSync, all controls are synchronized from the left unit to the right without cables or internal fixings.Switch OptoSync for all slave units to ON and their control's all synchronize to the master unit wirelessly using LED and optical communication. You can also use OptoSync to link together multiple units for applying the same sonic footprint across entire summing mixers or multi-channel surround mixes.
