Cranborne Audio Camden 500 Microphone Preamplifier Module
Cranborne Audio Camden 500 Microphone Preamplifier Module
The Cranborne Audio Camden 500 is a 500-series microphone preamplifier module that combines pristine transparency with variable harmonic saturation. Its THRU control allows you to dial in anything from clean, high-headroom amplification to warm, tube-like distortion, making it versatile for both tracking and mixing. With a gain range of 80dB and ultra-low noise floor, it handles everything from quiet acoustic sources to loud drums with ease.
Built with a discrete Class-A topology, the Camden 500 delivers a frequency response of 10Hz to 70kHz (±0.5dB) and includes a 3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange. The high-pass filter at 80Hz removes low-end rumble, while the +48V phantom power and polarity reverse switch provide essential functionality for professional recording. Its robust construction and high-quality components ensure reliable performance in any studio environment.
