The Cranborne Audio Carnaby HE2 is a 2U, 19-inch rackmount, digitally-controlled stereo, dual-mono, and mid/side 3-band HarmonicEQ® with an additional 2-band shaping EQ, designed to elevate your audio processing to a professional standard.

Building on the legacy of the acclaimed Carnaby 500, the Carnaby HE2 introduces a revolutionary EQ concept to your professional audio toolkit, leveraging harmonic saturation to precisely shape and refine your audio.

ENHANCED HARMONIC SATURATION FOR SUPERIOR SOUND
Maximize your audio’s potential by adding genuine analogue harmonic saturation. The Carnaby HE2 combines the intuitive control of a traditional equalizer with advanced harmonic manipulation, offering a distinctive sonic signature for your projects.

3-BAND PARAMETRIC EQ WITH EXCEPTIONAL FLEXIBILITY
The Carnaby HE2 supports stereo, dual mono, and mid-side processing, featuring three bypassable, interactive HarmonicEQ® bands per channel. Each band provides 10dB of boost/cut with sweepable, overlapping frequency controls. Like the Carnaby 500, each band has a unique harmonic blend tailored to its frequency range for unmatched musicality.

High-Frequency Enhancement: The HI band ranges from 5kHz to 25kHz, using smooth saturation to naturally extend high frequencies, adding air and breath to vocals and acoustic instruments.

Low-End Depth: The LO band covers 420Hz to 20Hz, employing hard-clipping saturation to enhance sub-harmonic frequencies, providing warmth or intense sub-harmonic saturation.

Midrange Brilliance: The MID band acts as a peaking filter with a wide frequency range from 200Hz to 6.2kHz, adding harmonic emphasis across the spectrum.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE FOR ARTISTIC FLEXIBILITY
Unlike conventional EQs, the Carnaby HE2’s dynamic response intensifies total boost/cut and harmonics as you drive the circuits harder. Each band includes input and output level controls, offering ±20dB adjustment, allowing you to push for enhanced saturation and distortion or pull back for clean EQ adjustments.

SEAMLESS DIGITAL CONTROL WITH USB AND NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
The Carnaby HE2 allows remote operation via USB or Ethernet, with an intuitive control plugin that integrates seamlessly with the hardware. This setup enables real-time control and recall from your DAW, streamlining the process of saving and loading presets for efficient workflow.

PRECISE TONAL SCULPTING
Independently bypass each of the three frequency bands to fine-tune your settings with unmatched accuracy.

EXTENDED HF & LF SHAPING
The Carnaby HE2 includes precise HF and LF cut controls with individual bypass options, allowing detailed sound refinement.

MASTERFUL MID/SIDE PROCESSING
Ideal for mastering, mixing, and sound design, the Carnaby HE2’s mid/side processing applies HarmonicEQ® separately to the mid (center) and side (stereo width) components of your stereo signal. It handles encoding and decoding seamlessly, offering unprecedented control without additional hardware.

SEAMLESS OUTBOARD HARDWARE INTEGRATION
With bypassable TRS inserts on each channel, the Carnaby HE2 integrates outboard hardware post-M/S encoding and pre-M/S decoding, providing full control over your audio before it enters the HarmonicEQ® processing chain.
