Cranborne Audio Camden EC2

• ●  Two discrete Mic/Line/Hi-Z preamps featuring the award-winning ‘Camden’ topology from the Camden 500 Preamp and Signal Processor for 500 series

• ●  Fully-discrete, transformerless design featuring designed by Cranborne Audio’s Director of Engineering - Edward Holmes

• ●  Audio performance at the near-theoretical limits of noise, distortion, and phase/frequency linearity at all gain settings

  • ○  EIN: <-129.5dBu, 150 ohm source, unweighted, <-135.5dBu, Inputs common, unweighted

  • ○  THD+N: <0.0004%, 1kHz, 35dB gain, 24dBu out

  • ○  Intermodulation Distortion: <0.0008%, 50Hz and 7kHz, 35dB gain, 20dBu out

  • ○  Phase Shift: <2.25°, 40dB gain, 20Hz to 20kHz, <4°, Max gain, 20Hz to 20kHz

  • ○  Freq. Response: <±1dB, <5 Hz to >200 kHz, all gain settings

  • ○  CMRR: >70dB, typ >85dB, 35dB Gain, 10-20kHz, 100mV Common mode

• ●  Two instances of ‘Mojo’ analogue saturation circuits with variable controls, true bypass, and 2 discrete styles

  - Thump and Cream

  • ○  Thump excites low-end content by boosting lower odd/even harmonics from a range of 160Hz to

    20Hz and below

  • ○  Cream boosts odd/even harmonics whilst also reducing the amplitude of the fundamental

    frequencies and applying typical transformer-style transient taming

• ●  Two discrete headphone mixers with independant CH1, CH2, Aux Input, and Master level controls

  • ○  All managed and distributed via a single shielded Cat5 cable

• ●  C.A.S.T IN port for connecting N22/N22H Cat 5 snakes to relocate Camden EC2 I/O elsewhere in the

  studio

  • ○  Receive 2 inputs from N22/N22H directly into the preamp inputs of Camden EC2

  • ○  Transmit Camden EC2’s Aux 1 headphone mix into N22/N22H for direct monitoring by the musician
