The Carnaby 500 is a world first, it is the first 3-band parametric EQ in the 500 series format with a revolutionary EQ concept, designed and created by Cranborne Audio. First analogue EQ that uses harmonic saturation to boost and cut frequency content. It enhances your sources, stems and mixes with true analogue harmonic saturation with the feel, familiarity and control of an EQ.

Presentation
Carnaby 500 is the world’s first harmonic equalizer – an analog equalizer that uses harmonic saturation to boost and cut frequency content. It enhances your sources, stems and mixes by bringing authentic analog harmonic saturation with the feel, familiarity and controls of an EQ.
Stereo Link via OPTOSYNC
Carnaby 500 not only features a world-first EQ circuit, it also features an innovative stereo link feature called OPTOSYNC that allows two Carnaby 500 units to function as a perfect stereo pair for stereo mixes and sources.
With OPTOSYNC, all controls are synchronized from the left unit to the right without any internal cables or fixtures. Switch OPTOSYNC for all slave units to ON and their controls will all sync to the master unit wirelessly using LED and optical communication. You can also use OPTOSYNC to link multiple units together to apply the same sonic footprint across summing or multichannel surround mixes.
