Introducing the BRAND NEW Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 Equalizer!
By Front End Audio on Mar 28th 2023
Cranborne Audio has just announced the new Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 Equalizer! This is a 3-band parametric EQ with a unique Harmonic EQ circuit for harmonically enhanced tonal effects! This will help you enhance your sources, stems, and mixes with genuine harmonic. saturation with the feel, control, and familiarity of an equalizer. Unlike a lot of other EQs, Carnaby 500 has a dynamic response. Meaning, increases in total boost/cut and harmonics as the circuits are driven harder. An Input and Output level control on each band allows for ±20dB of level adjustment enabling you to drive Carnaby 500 harder with the input control for more saturation and distortion effects or even back it off for a cleaner EQ when needed.
Key Features:
- 3-band, 500 Series Harmonic EQTM meticulously developed by the Cranborne Audio team in the UK
- Custom analogue EQ circuit and unique ‘saturation-core’ technology for Harmonically-enriched EQ effects
- Parametric peaking MID band with ±10dB of cut/boost, fixed Q and harmonic saturation
- Parametric LO and HI shelving bands with ±10dB of cut/boost and harmonic saturation
- Parametric peaking MID band with ±10dB of cut/boost, fixed Q and harmonic saturation
- LO, MID, and HI LED indicators to display saturation level
- ±20dB Input and Output Level for dense harmonic saturation or clean EQ effects
- OptoSync wireless communication between modules for linked controls during stereo operation
- ⅛” TRS socket for linking non-adjacent modules
- Circuit auto-calibration for perfect stereo matching between all modules
- True-bypass IN/OUT switching with complete or post input trim modes available on DIP switch
