Mojo can be smooth and subtle, punchy and in-your-face — or completely out of the circuit. With the Cranborne Audio Camden EC2, the choice is yours.Custom transformerless topology With the Mojo circuit bypassed, Camden EC2 is one of the cleanest, most linear, transparent, and natural-sounding preamps we’ve put to the test at Sweetwater. Featuring a custom transformerless front-end topology with 68.5dB of gain, the Camden 500 achieves amazing low-noise and low-distortion specs and also raises the bar for frequency and phase linearity: ±0.7dB frequency response from 1Hz to 1,000kHz at 35dB gain and less than four degrees of phase shift (20Hz to 20kHz, 63dB gain). The Camden EC2’s tailored input impedance and headroom for Mic, Line, and hi-Z sources give you punchy, full-range line recording with +26.5dBu of input headroom as well as vibrant, natural-sounding DI instruments.C.A.S.T. away Spec’d with Cranborne’s innovative C.A.S.T. system, the EC2 does away with excess cable spaghetti, delivering a cost-effective, low-maintenance, plug-and-play solution by transmitting balanced analog audio over shielded Cat 5 Ethernet cable directly to/from a Cranborne 500R8 or 500ADAT 500 Series rack.Cranborne Audio Camden EC2 Microphone Preamp & Headphone Mixer Features: 2 discrete, ultra-clean mic/line/hi-Z preamps with acclaimed Camden topology Performance at near-theoretical limits of noise, distortion, and phase/frequency linearity at all gain settings 2 bypassable Mojo saturation circuits with Thump/Cream analog saturation types 2 discrete headphone mixers with independent channel and Aux input level controls 2 high-power, reference-grade headphone amplifiers Balanced XLR outputs plus impedance-balanced 1/4-inch outputs for maximum connectivity Dedicated impedance-balanced 1/4-inch Link outputs for splitting instrument DIs to balanced/unbalanced amps and effects Selectable 48V phantom power C.A.S.T.
