Cranborne Audio Carnaby HE2 HarmonicEQ

Unlike traditional EQs that only adjust gain at specific frequencies, the Carnaby HE2 uses harmonic saturation to shape the signal. Each of the three bands adds distinct harmonic content, meaning you are adding analog character and texture as you boost or cut, rather than just changing the volume of a frequency range.

Yes, the unit features dedicated modes for Stereo, Dual Mono, and Mid-Side processing. This makes it highly versatile for mastering applications or for treating the center and sides of a stereo mix differently.

Yes, the Carnaby HE2 features digital control via USB or Ethernet. This allows you to integrate the unit with your DAW for full session recall and real-time adjustments, bridging the gap between analog sound and digital workflow efficiency.

The insert loops allow you to integrate other outboard gear directly into the signal path of the Carnaby HE2. These inserts are positioned post-M/S encoding and Carnaby processing, but pre-M/S decoding, providing a flexible point to patch in compressors or other processors.

Yes, the unit offers per-band bypass functionality. This allows you to precisely sculpt your tone by engaging only the specific bands you need while keeping the rest of the signal path clean.

The Carnaby HE2 is designed with a very low noise floor of less than -93dBu when all bands are bypassed. It also includes a true bypass circuit to ensure your signal remains clean and uncolored when the EQ is not engaged.
