Like new. Versatile compressor is mint condition.
Description:
The Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500 is a single-slot, fully analog 500-series compressor that utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) instead of traditional VCA, Opto, or FET designs. It features six distinct compression modes (Velvet, Float, Smash, Tame, Glue, Polish) and a dynamic "Stress" knob for advanced harmonic saturation.
Key Features
- Modal PWM Architecture: Allows for ultra-fast, transparent dynamics control. By switching modes, the compressor automatically sets the optimal ratio, knee, attack, and release curves tailored for different applications.
- Stress Control: Adds multiband harmonic saturation. This parameter changes its tonal behavior based on the mode—adding subtle tube warmth in Velvet, punchy glue on the mix bus, or aggressive transient shaping in Smash. [1]
- OptoSync Technology: Allows users to link adjacent or non-adjacent units for synchronized stereo or multi-channel operation without requiring cables.
- Analog Lookahead: Yields near-zero processing delay and prevents transient clipping in Polish mode.
- Enigma Menus: Hidden DIP switches and dual-button presses unlock deeper technical parameters for users who want to dive into fine-tuning distortion character and detection behaviors.
