The Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 is a 3-band parametric Harmonic EQ designed for the 500 series format. It offers unique harmonic saturation for boosting and cutting frequency content, making it suitable for a wide range of audio applications.
The Carnaby 500 is not your typical EQ. Developed by Cranborne Audio, it introduces the world to Harmonic EQ™, a unique concept that blends traditional equalisation with harmonic saturation. This innovative approach allows you to enhance your audio sources with genuine analogue warmth while maintaining precise control over your sound.
The Carnaby 500 features 3 interactive bands of Harmonic EQ™, each with 10dB of boost/cut and its own sweepable and overlapping frequency controls. The harmonic content of each band is tailored to its frequency range, providing maximum musicality.
Unlike conventional EQs, the Carnaby 500 offers a dynamic response that increases in total boost/cut and harmonics as the circuits are driven harder. This allows for a wide range of tonal shaping, from subtle to more saturated effects.
The unit also features OPTOSYNC, an innovative stereo-linking feature that enables two Carnaby 500 units to work as a perfect stereo pair. This wireless communication between modules ensures precise stereo matching.
The Carnaby 500 is equipped with a variety of inputs and outputs, including 6 x XLR Analog Input, 5 x XLR Analog Output, and 1 x XLR AES/EBU Input and Output, providing flexibility for both stereo and surround setups.
