Cranborne Audio EC2 Overview
Recording Drums With Camden Preamps | Cranborne Audio
Recording Vocals With Camden Preamps | Cranborne Audio
Designed to be the ultimate performer's recording and mixing front end, the Camden EC2 from Cranborne Audio is a versatile microphone preamp, signal processor, and reference-grade headphone amp in one compact, portable desktop unit. With two of Camden's award-winning preamps that feature Mojo analog saturation on tap in three distinct flavors (Thump for transformer-style saturation, Cream for tube-style saturation, and True Bypass for pristine transparency), you can dial in any tone you want on mics, line-level signals, and Hi-Z instruments.
The audio performance of the EC2 approaches the theoretical limits of analog audio technology with extraordinarily low noise and distortion, and incredible phase and frequency linearity across all available gain settings. The powerful headphone amp features two discrete mixers with independent level controls. You get stereo pairs of balanced XLR and impedance-matched balanced and unbalanced 1/4" I/O for handling any studio setup or signal chain. The external high-current power supply provides a larger-than-average 24V of power for high-performance operation and sports a latching connector for reliability. The EC2 includes an external power supply, an IEC power cable, and four rubber feet for desktop placement.
Award-Winning Preamp Performance
Connect the Camden EC2 to your audio interface and experience the award-winning sound of the Camden preamp design. Providing up to 68 dB of pristine, clean gain, Camden EC2 is the perfect preamp to pair with low-gain dynamic microphones and ribbon mics.
Powerful Headphone Monitoring
Featuring a reference-grade high-powered headphone amp with a dedicated line mixer, Camden EC2 gives you true zero-latency mastering-quality monitoring of your preamps that's effortlessly mixed with playback from your DAW.
3 World-Class Preamps in 1
Thanks to its custom Mojo harmonic saturation control, the Camden EC2 offers 3 flavors of preamp tone that can be dialed to taste:
- Thump provides transformer-style saturation with natural and dynamic low-end thickening at halfway and warm sustain without muddiness at 100%
- Cream delivers tube-style saturation with compression effects at halfway, tape-style saturated high frequencies and sub-frequency harmonics at 70%, and fat transients with midrange compression and noticeable overdrive at 100%
- True Bypass gives you the pure, uncolored EC1 preamp, with pristine transparency, high detail, and virtually nonexistent noise and distortion
Immersive Headphone Amplifier
Monitor the Camden preamp in true zero latency using headphones connected directly to the front panel, and mix in external DAW playback using the stereo 1/4" aux input jacks on the Camden EC2's rear panel. With the same reference-grade design developed for the 500R8 audio interface, Camden EC2's headphone amps deliver up to 1.2W of clean power per ear and a flat frequency response from <1 Hz to 70 kHz, perfect to power any set of headphones with clean power.
Portable, Powerful, and Timeless
Housed in a half-rack desktop format, you can take the Camden EC2 with you studio to studio or onstage. Dial in your sonic signature, and control your own consistent and pristine headphone monitoring.
Devoid of software updates and USB standards, the Camden EC2 is with you for the long haul. Even when you upgrade your surrounding studio, the Camden EC2 will always provide your tonal benchmark.
