Camden 500

This package delivers a matched pair of the acclaimed Cranborne Audio Camden 500 microphone preamps, providing a complete stereo solution for pristine recording and versatile analog coloration. The Camden 500 is celebrated for its dual-personality design, offering both one of the cleanest, most transparent signal paths on the market and the ability to dial in rich, musical saturation. Having a pair allows you to bring this incredible flexibility to stereo recording applications, ensuring perfect tonal consistency across two channels for sources like drum overheads, stereo-miked acoustic guitar, piano, and room mics.

Each preamp in the pair features the custom 'Camden' topology, which provides an astonishingly low noise floor (-129.8dB EIN) and a linear frequency response that captures every detail of your source with unparalleled accuracy. When you need to move beyond transparency, the proprietary 'Mojo' analog saturation circuit on each unit can be engaged. With two distinct styles—the low-mid enriching 'Thump' and the silky, vintage-inspired 'Cream'—you can add the perfect amount of analog character to your stereo recordings. This stereo pair is also a powerful tool for mix bus processing, allowing you to run line-level signals through the Mojo circuit to add warmth, cohesion, and a finished, console-like sound to your stereo mixes.
