It features a completely original, custom-designed ‘Camden’ preamp topology that achieves stunning low-noise and low-distortion performance as well as frequency and phase linearity at all gain settings. The sum result is -129.8dB EIN (150ohm, unweighted), THD+N as low as 0.0002%, frequency response of ±0.7dB from 5Hz to 200kHz at max gain and 2° phase shift @ 20Hz – 20kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor moments when that extra bit of ‘British’ character is required, rather than use a transformer and learn to live with its drawbacks, Cranborne Audio developed Mojo - two discrete analogue saturation styles that transform Camden 500 into the fattest, warmest, and most characterful preamp in your arsenal - all at the turn of a dial. Perhaps best of all, unlike transformer and other legacy designs, Mojo can be subtle, it can also be exaggerated, but it can also be bypassed.\u2028\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClean, Precise, and Natural - at all gain positions\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst preamp specifications often quote fantastic figures at specific gain values, when the gain is increased, those figures often change radically. Camden 500 was designed to retain all of its impressive performance specifications at all gain positions from 8dB to 68dB. This means that even when the preamp is running at maximum gain, the Phase and Frequency response remains linear and THD always remains inaudible - enabling all gain positions to be usable for any source and mic combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVintage, Warm, and Coloured - thanks to Mojo\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCamden 500 features Mojo - a new type of saturation circuit that consists of an array of filters and discrete second\/third order harmonic generators that allow precise emulation of the saturation and low-end reinforcement behaviours of vintage transformer and valve-based equipment. The key to Mojo is that it can be dialled in to taste; use subtle amounts for gentle saturation, or dial it in to well beyond the point that destructive clipping would usually occur with transformer-based. Perhaps the very best part of Mojo is that it can be bypassed to reveal the pristine base sound of the Camden 500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThump\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThump is a style that works best on - but is not limited to - low-frequency based instruments. Thump excites low-end content by boosting harmonics in the range of ~100Hz to 20Hz and below without increasing the fundamental frequencies - resulting in fuller low-end on all reproduction mediums. As Thump is not EQ-based, the additional harmonic content is shaped by the source and it’s existing low-end frequency content resulting in a natural addition of extra “Thump”. Similar-sounding EQ moves will result in extreme wooliness as all sonic energy is boosted - even unwanted audio in-between the hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream introduces a vintage smoothness that enables tracks to sit deep within a complex mix in a way that cannot be replicated with EQ. The Cream setting drastically increases THD whilst smoothing-out the low-mids. As with Thump, Cream is not EQ based and is purely achieved by blending 2 saturation stages with the dry signal and additional harmonics. Cream varies entirely on the harmonic signature of the incoming source. It will increase high-end forwardness and create unique harmonic-based tonal shaping effects on mid-range instruments, but it will also add low-end on full range sources as well as unique “compression-style” effect on transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cranborne Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959550222719,"sku":"8536","price":289.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"a-designs-p1-652","title":"A Designs P1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mojo of the Pacifica in 500 series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-1 has the highest fidelity of all the A-Designs Audio 500 preamps.

That way, you're not committed from the start, and you can easily sculpt your sound later with the exact character you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's here, the iconic HV-3 topology in a format perfect for your 500 Series rack. While Millennia was reworking the HV-3 to fit the form factor, they went ahead and incorporated all the push buttons that HV-3 fans had been asking for over the years. The easy-access buttons include a 15dB pad, a polarity flip, 48V phantom power, a 10dB switch for ribbon mics, a highpass filter, and switch for the front-panel hi-Z instrument input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePure, musical, incredibly smooth preamplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HV-3 is there, but it's not there. And that's exactly how you want it. Built to offer the most transparent path from your microphone to the rest of your signal chain, the HV-3 features a transformerless input, balanced audio path, and minimal amplifier design. Aficionados of classical and acoustic-based music may have first discovered the promise of the HV-3's honest approach to preamplification, but the preamp is rapidly making its way into studios of all genres. Once you've heard it, you'll realize that no color is a color, too. What you give the HV-3, you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreserves your sound for later processing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of our gear is soaked with character and personality. It's easy to overdo it. The Millennia HV-3 is ideal for the engineer who wants to try on color, without committing to one sound from the start. When you've recorded with the HV-3, you know you're starting from square one, so you can precisely dial in the tone, flavor, and character you want from your outboard gear or plug-in processors. To put it another way, if you were deciding what sculpture to make, you'd most likely want to start with an unchiseled piece of stone. The HV-3 translates the sound of the performance and the voice of your microphone, without getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnown to save you time with EQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're used to processing colored audio from the start, working with an HV-3 preamplifier will be a change. But, it's an easy workflow to get into. In particular, engineers who have used the HV-3 often note that tracks are somehow easier to EQ. With the right mic, in the right place, the HV-3 delivers a smooth, natural response that seems to require less tinkering. Without the heavy hand of a preamp, tracks seem to fall together into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMillennia gear is made for detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounder and chief designer John La Grue takes the same approach to his exceptional audio gear as he does to the wine he cultivates in the California countryside. Detail matters, it's everything. Whether in a vintage of wine or your multi-track mix, taken together, those details can make a major difference in the end result.

It features a completely original, custom-designed ‘Camden’ preamp topology that achieves stunning low-noise and low-distortion performance as well as frequency and phase linearity at all gain settings. The sum result is -129.8dB EIN (150ohm, unweighted), THD+N as low as 0.0002%, frequency response of ±0.7dB from 5Hz to 200kHz at max gain and \u0026lt;2° phase shift @ 20Hz – 20kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor moments when that extra bit of ‘British’ character is required, rather than use a transformer and learn to live with its drawbacks, Cranborne Audio developed Mojo - two discrete analogue saturation styles that transform Camden 500 into the fattest, warmest, and most characterful preamp in your arsenal - all at the turn of a dial. Perhaps best of all, unlike transformer and other legacy designs, Mojo can be subtle, it can also be exaggerated, but it can also be bypassed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClean, Precise, and Natural - at all gain positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst preamp specifications often quote fantastic figures at specific gain values, when the gain is increased, those figures often change radically. Camden 500 was designed to retain all of its impressive performance specifications at all gain positions from 8dB to 68dB. This means that even when the preamp is running at maximum gain, the Phase and Frequency response remains linear and THD always remains inaudible - enabling all gain positions to be usable for any source and mic combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVintage, Warm, and Coloured - thanks to Mojo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCamden 500 features Mojo - a new type of saturation circuit that consists of an array of filters and discrete second\/third order harmonic generators that allow precise emulation of the saturation and low-end reinforcement behaviours of vintage transformer and valve-based equipment. The key to Mojo is that it can be dialled in to taste; use subtle amounts for gentle saturation, or dial it in to well beyond the point that destructive clipping would usually occur with transformer-based. Perhaps the very best part of Mojo is that it can be bypassed to reveal the pristine base sound of the Camden 500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThump\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThump is a style that works best on - but is not limited to - low-frequency based instruments. Thump excites low-end content by boosting harmonics in the range of ~100Hz to 20Hz and below without increasing the fundamental frequencies - resulting in fuller low-end on all reproduction mediums. As Thump is not EQ-based, the additional harmonic content is shaped by the source and it’s existing low-end frequency content resulting in a natural addition of extra “Thump”. Similar-sounding EQ moves will result in extreme wooliness as all sonic energy is boosted - even unwanted audio in-between the hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCream introduces a vintage smoothness that enables tracks to sit deep within a complex mix in a way that cannot be replicated with EQ. The Cream setting drastically increases THD whilst smoothing-out the low-mids. As with Thump, Cream is not EQ based and is purely achieved by blending 2 saturation stages with the dry signal and additional harmonics. Cream varies entirely on the harmonic signature of the incoming source. It will increase high-end forwardness and create unique harmonic-based tonal shaping effects on mid-range instruments, but it will also add low-end on full range sources as well as unique “compression-style” effect on transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cranborne Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57960046002559,"sku":"48707","price":299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/48707-1.jpg?v=1783941674"},{"product_id":"solid-state-logic-ssl-six-channel","title":"Solid State Logic SSL Six Channel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SSL SiX Channel is a single-width 500 Series mini channel strip using the SuperAnalogue channel processing features from SSL’s SiX console including the Mic-pre, low and high frequency EQ, as well as the single knob compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SiX Channel is a simple way to add additional Mic\/Line inputs to the line level inputs of any professional audio device, including the Stereo channels of the SiX console.
