Unleash the full potential of your studio with the Cranborne Audio Carnaby HE2 Harmonic EQ - Legacy Edition. This innovative 3-band parametric EQ is not just another signal processor—it's a creative powerhouse that uses harmonic saturation to redefine how you shape sound. Its dual-channel design offers comprehensive digital control and the ability to operate in stereo, dual mono, or mid-side modes, making it an indispensable tool for producers and audio engineers seeking to enhance their mixes with depth and clarity.

The Carnaby HE2's robust analog circuit provides a unique blend of harmonic content across its frequency bands. The high band delivers smooth saturation for shimmering highs, while the low band provides hard-clip saturation to enrich the sub-bass frequencies. The mid band serves as a versatile peaking filter, adding character and presence to your sound. Each band is equipped with its own bypass switch, allowing for precision crafting of your audio landscape.

With its dynamic response, the Carnaby HE2 ensures that harmonic enhancement scales with your input, offering up to ±20dB of input and output level control for everything from subtle warmth to full-on distortion. The inclusion of a bypassable TRS insert on each channel gives you the flexibility to integrate outboard gear seamlessly.

For the modern studio, remote control via USB and Ethernet means you can adjust settings directly from your DAW, making workflow more intuitive than ever. The Legacy Edition not only enhances sound but also boasts special cosmetics and a rugged rackmount road case for those on the go.
