{"product_id":"cranborne-audio-carnaby-500-series-harmonic-eq","title":"Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 Series Harmonic EQ","description":"The Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 Equalizer is a unique 3-band parametric EQ designed for the 500 series format. It introduces a groundbreaking concept called “Harmonic EQ,” which utilizes harmonic saturation to boost and cut frequency content, providing a genuine analog harmonic saturation experience with the control of an equalizer. Here’s a detailed overview of its features:\r\n\u003ch4\u003eHarmonic EQ Concept:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\nThe Carnaby 500 is the world’s first Harmonic EQ, enhancing audio sources, stems, and mixes with analog harmonic saturation for a warm and musical sound.\r\n\u003ch4\u003e3-Band Parametric EQ:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\nThe EQ features three interactive bands, each with 10 dB of boost\/cut and sweepable overlapping frequency controls.\r\n\r\nHI Band: Covers a frequency range from 5kHz to 25kHz, adding smooth saturation to extend high frequencies for air and breath in vocals and acoustic instruments.\r\n\r\nMID Band: A peaking filter with a fixed Q and a wide sweepable frequency range from 200 Hz to 6.2 kHz, using saturation to emphasize harmonics anywhere in the frequency range.\r\n\r\nLO Band: With a frequency range of 420 Hz down to 20 Hz, it uses hard-clipping saturation to extend sub-harmonic frequencies into the audible low-end, suitable for subtle warming or extreme saturation.\r\n\u003ch4\u003eDynamic Response:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\nUnlike traditional EQs, Carnaby 500 exhibits a dynamic response, increasing total boost\/cut and harmonics as you drive the circuits harder. Each band has input and output level controls with ±20 dB of adjustment, allowing for saturation and distortion effects or cleaner EQ.\r\n\u003ch4\u003eStereo-Link via OPTOSYNC:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\nCarnaby 500 offers an innovative stereo-linking feature called OPTOSYNC, allowing two units to work as a perfect stereo pair. OPTOSYNC synchronizes controls from the left unit to the right wirelessly using LED and optical communication. This can be used for stereo mixes or linking multiple units for broader applications.\r\n\u003ch4\u003eRugged Industrial Design:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\nThe processor is designed with a robust and unique structural support system, custom 41-way detented pots on every control, and automatic calibration for all analog saturation paths, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCARNABY 500 Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e3-band Harmonic EQ developed by Cranborne Audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eParametric LO and HI shelving bands with ±10 dB cut\/boost and harmonic saturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eParametric peaking MID band with ±10 dB cut\/boost, fixed Q, and harmonic saturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eLED indicators to display saturation level for each band.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e±20 dB Input and Output Level controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOptoSync wireless communication for linking controls between units.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e⅛” TRS socket for linking non-adjacent modules.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eCircuit auto-calibration for precise stereo matching.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTrue-bypass IN\/OUT switching with complete or post-input trim modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eStepped front-panel controls for quick recall and precision.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nThe Cranborne Audio Carnaby 500 Equalizer combines innovation, versatility, and analog warmth, making it a valuable tool for enhancing audio in professional studios.","brand":"Sur Sargam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52660634878249,"sku":null,"price":57950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/0750\/9801\/files\/Cranborne-Audio-Carnaby-500-Series-Harmonic-EQ-1.jpg?v=1770816638","url":"https:\/\/sursargam.com\/products\/cranborne-audio-carnaby-500-series-harmonic-eq","provider":"Sur Sargam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
