Preamp

The Camden EC2 is more than just a 2-channel preamp: it's a powerhouse of high-precision audio technology, derived from the renowned Camden 500. Designed by Cranborne Audio, it combines exceptional sonic transparency with vintage analog warmth, all in a robust 1U rackmount format, ideal for the most demanding studio setups.

This preamp delivers reference-level audio performance with proprietary "Camden" topology, Mojo variable analog saturation (Thump and Cream), and two built-in professional headphone amps for zero-latency direct monitoring. It also integrates with C.A.S.T. technology for extensive and flexible connectivity.

The Camden EC2 is the ultimate tool for capturing the most faithful recordings or adding analog character on demand.
