Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4
Description
COMING SOON
The World’s Most Advanced Analogue Dynamics Processor
Brick Lane MC4 is a 2u 19-Inch rack, 4-channel Modal PWM Dynamics Processor with Mono, Stereo, Mid/Side, Series, Dual-Band, and De-Esser operation. An evolution of our Brick Lane 500 Modal PWM Compressor.
A New Reference in Analogue Dynamics Processing
Brick Lane MC4 represents a major leap forward in analogue dynamics design — combining pure analogue PWM compression (compression+gate), multi-band saturation, and analogue lookahead technology within a digitally controlled, recallable hardware platform. Each channel features a Brick Lane MC4 Modal PWM compressor with six distinct compression modes, alongside an enhanced noise gate with analogue lookahead.
Compression Modes:
• VELVET - Vintage Vari-Mu-style musicality with Tube-inspired harmonic compression. This compression style offers smooth, organic dynamic control with vintage tonal warmth and character.
• FLOAT - Transparent Opto-inspired dynamics with moderate transparency and gentle, wavelike compression ballistics.
• SMASH - FET-Style transient dominance with aggressive dynamic reduction, and explosive punch and sonic impact.
• TAME - Precision transient management with ultra-fast, transparent control and surgical dynamic precision.
• GLUE - Glue together all the elements of your mix with this on your master bus for gentle bus-style compression.
• POLISH - Ultimate mastering-style limiting with the cleanest, fastest analog limiter with our “Analog-Lookahead” technology.
Key Fetures:
• Ultimate Dynamics Processing: 4-channels of PWM dynamics processing (Compression + Gate) meticulously developed by the Cranborne Audio team in the UK.
• Versatile Operation: allows for combinations of mono, stereo, mid/side, dual-band, series, and De-Essing with flexible routing configurations
• In meters and ensures a user-friendly and visually intuitive experience that ensures any remote control operation is reflected on the Brick Lane MC4’s front panel.
• Remote Control & Recall: Utilise USB and Network control and recall via the included plugin to seamlessly retrieve your preferred settings, recall previous settings, and control your • Brick Lane MC4 remotely right from your DAW providing a streamlined workflow in various studio environments.
• Custom PWM compression circuit and unique ‘Stress’ control for Harmonically-enriched compression effects.
• “Analogue Lookahead” technology for true zero-attack compression and gating
• 6 Compression modes - Velvet, Float, Smash, Tame, Glue, and Polish set compression ratio, knee, compression style, and compression rate of change.
• Threshold control and variable-range Attack and Release controls (altered per mode)
• 4 selectable sidechain HPF modes - OFF, 60Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz.
• ±20dB Input and Output/Make-up Gain Level to tailor the compression and saturation character to the source.
• ENIGMA compression parameters to further tune compression and saturation behaviour.
