It is designed to work seamlessly with any audio interface, delivering exceptional transparency and low-noise performance.

Transparent Preamp:

The Camden preamp is known for its low noise, low distortion, and excellent frequency and phase linearity at all gain settings.
It can boost low-sensitivity microphones without adding noise or coloration to the audio signal.

Gain Control:

The preamp includes a 12-way rotary gain switch for easy recall of preamp gain settings.
It offers dedicated mic, line, and hi-z input modes, making it versatile for various recording scenarios.
Each channel has a dedicated ¼-inch jack Link output for additional flexibility.

Vintage Sound with Mojo:

The Camden EC1 features the Mojo analog saturation control, allowing you to add vintage warmth and coloration to your audio.
It offers two discrete Mojo styles: Thump and Cream, for emulating transformer or valve-based preamps.
Mojo’s saturation is adjustable, ranging from subtle warmth to more pronounced analog coloration.

Advanced Monitoring and Reamping:

The preamp includes a reference-quality headphone amplifier and an independent 4-channel line mixer for zero-latency monitoring.
You can monitor the preamp directly using headphones during mic placement or create zero-latency analog headphone mixes.
It also features a high-quality Hi-Z instrument D.I. circuit for reamping bass and electric guitars.

C.A.S.T. Enabled:

The Camden EC1 supports Cranborne Audio’s unique C.A.S.T. system, allowing audio distribution using Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 7 cabling.
You can connect it to other C.A.S.T.-enabled devices like the 500R8 or 500ADAT for flexible audio routing.

The preamp provides multiple I/O options, including XLR outputs, impedance-balanced 1/4-inch jack outputs with a 10 dB PAD, and a Link output for using it as a DI.
