The Cranborne Camden EC-2 is a Two channel 19", 1RU preamp featuring award-winning Camden preamps, Mojo analogue saturation circuits, and dual reference-quality headphone amplifiers with discrete line mixers.

Based on the award-winning Camden 500 Preamp and Signal Processor for the 500 series lunchbox format, Camden EC2 combines the sonic capabilities of one of the markets cleanest and most transparent preamps with the flexibility of a standalone, 1RU, 19” chassis that can integrate into any recording setup with or without 500 series connectivity.

More than two preamps in a metal box, Camden EC-2 features Two reference-quality headphone amplifiers with independant line mixers that allow for direct monitoring of both Camden preamps using headphones connected directly to Camden EC-2’s front panel.

Key Features:

• Two discrete mic/line/hi-z preamps featuring the award-winning ‘Camden’ topology from the Camden 500 Preamp and Signal Processor for 500 series
• Audio performance at the near-theoretical limits of noise, distortion, and phase/frequency linearity at all gain settings
• Two instances of ‘Mojo’ analogue saturation circuits with variable control, true bypass, and 2 discrete styles - Thump and Cream
• Two discrete headphone mixers with independant CH 1, CH 2, and Aux Input level controls
• Two reference-quality, high-powered headphone amplifiers
• Unique 48v status LED
• Balanced XLR outputs and impedance balanced ¼” jack outputs for maximum connectivity into audio interfaces and other downstream equipment
• Dedicated Impedance balanced 1/4" Jack Link outputs for true instrument DI functionality and splitting instrument inputs to balanced or unbalanced amplifiers and effects
• C.A.S.T. OUT port for connecting Camden EC-2 into 500R8/500ADAT
• C.A.S.T. IN port for connecting N22/N22H Cat 5 snakes to relocate Camden EC2 I/O elsewhere in the studio
• External high-current 24v, 1.25a power supply with latching connector
