Cranborne Audio Carnaby HE2 2-Channel HarmonicEQ

Product Description

The Cranborne Audio Carnaby HE2 two-channel Harmonic EQ is a full-rack take on the groundbreaking harmonic EQ technique introduced in the Carnaby 500. Like its predecessor, the Carnaby HE2 utilizes harmonic saturation to boost and cut frequencies to make for a musical EQ with a unique blend of analog warmth and presence. While Cranborne Audio’s Carnaby 500 shines as a compact 500 series unit, the Carnaby HE2 incorporates the look and feel of traditional analog EQ units. But behind the vintage aesthetic is a modern feature set including stereo, Mid/Side, and dual-mono support, remote control, and preset recall. From shaping a single vocal to complex mastering techniques, the Carnaby HE2 is a versatile and user-friendly tool like no other.

3-BAND PARAMETRIC HARMONIC EQ

Cranborne Audio’s Carnaby HE2 features three bypassable and interactive Harmonic EQ bands for each channel, allowing for a wide array of possible harmonic blends and saturation styles at your disposal. The HI band spans from 5kHz up to 25kHz and adds a present, smooth brightness to your audio, while the LO band covers 20Hz to 420 Hz and uses hard-clipping saturation to extend sub-harmonic frequencies. The MID band, meanwhile, is a fixed Q with a sweepable 200Hz to 6.2kHz frequency range and plenty of rich saturation on tap. Finally, there are also HF and LF cut controls to further shape your sound with ease and precision.

INTUITIVE ONBOARD AND REMOTE CONTROLS

The Carnaby HE2’s user-friendly design features dimmable LED rings and digital encoders so that you’re confidently in control at all times. Plus, with the help of the included VST/AU/AAX plug-in, you can fully control the Carnaby HE2 remotely via USB or an Ethernet network and your DAW of choice. The plug-in even lets you recall previous settings, making for an easy and streamlined user experience in any setup.

VERSATILE OPERATION FOR ANY MIX

Not only does the Carnaby HE2 support stereo and dual-mono configurations, but the unit also accommodates Mid/Side processing for mastering and sound design applications—all with no additional equipment required.

FLEXIBLE OUTBOARD INTEGRATION

Both channels on the Carnaby HE2 feature a bypassable TRS insert, which allows you to connect and place outboard gear before the unit in your signal chain. Doing so allows you to seamlessly integrate the Harmonic EQ sound into your setup and uncover even more sonic possibilities. So why wait?
