Built around Cranborne Audio\u2019s advanced <strong>Modal PWM compression architecture<\/strong>, the MC4 represents a new generation of analogue dynamics processing for modern hybrid studios.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional compressors with fixed ratios and envelopes, the MC4 allows you to switch between fundamentally different compression behaviours using dedicated modes. From smooth vintage-style levelling to aggressive transient shaping and mastering-grade limiting, the MC4 adapts seamlessly to any production scenario.<\/p>\n<h3>Modal PWM Compression \u2013 Next-Generation Analogue Dynamics<\/h3>\n<p>At the core of the MC4 is Modal PWM compression, a unique system that modulates the control behaviour, timing, and harmonic response of the analogue gain stage itself. This enables a single signal path to emulate multiple compression styles with exceptional musicality and precision.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the four channels features six compression modes, each paired with a dynamically linked analogue saturation circuit. This ensures that harmonic content evolves naturally with gain reduction, recreating the programme-dependent character of classic analogue compressors.<\/p>\n<h3>Flexible Workflow &amp; Routing<\/h3>\n<p>The MC4 is designed for maximum versatility across tracking, mixing, and mastering. Each channel can operate independently or be combined using advanced routing options including stereo linking, Mid\/Side processing, and internal channel chaining.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Series Mode:<\/strong> Chain two channels for layered compression<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dual-Band Mode:<\/strong> Two-band analogue compression with minimal phase interaction<\/li>\n<li><strong>De-Esser Mode:<\/strong> Analogue lookahead for smooth high-frequency control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An enhanced <strong>Noise Gate with Analogue Lookahead<\/strong> is included on each channel, providing clean and predictable gating without artefacts.<\/p>\n<h3>Hybrid Control &amp; Total Recall<\/h3>\n<p>While maintaining a fully analogue audio path, the MC4 offers complete digital control via USB or Ethernet. A dedicated plug-in allows real-time parameter adjustment, preset management, and total recall directly from your DAW, making it ideal for modern hybrid workflows.<\/p>\n<p>With flexible sidechain routing, hardware insert points on every channel, and deep behavioural control via the <strong>ENIGMA system<\/strong>, the MC4 delivers both the musicality of vintage gear and the precision of modern production tools.<\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>4-channel analogue dynamics processor<\/li>\n<li>Modal PWM compression architecture<\/li>\n<li>Six compression modes per channel<\/li>\n<li>Dynamically linked analogue saturation<\/li>\n<li>Per-channel noise gate with analogue lookahead<\/li>\n<li>Advanced routing: mono, stereo, Mid\/Side, series, dual-band<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated de-esser mode<\/li>\n<li>USB and Ethernet control with DAW plug-in<\/li>\n<li>Total recall and preset management<\/li>\n<li>ENIGMA system for deep parameter control<\/li>\n<li>Bypassable insert points on all channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Tracking and recording<\/li>\n<li>Mix bus and stem processing<\/li>\n<li>Mastering and final dynamics control<\/li>\n<li>Hybrid studio workflows<\/li>\n<li>Creative sound shaping and compression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Technical Specifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Format:<\/strong> 2U, 19-inch rackmount<\/li>\n<li><strong>Channels:<\/strong> 4-channel analogue dynamics processor<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compression:<\/strong> Modal PWM (digitally controlled analogue)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compression Modes:<\/strong> Velvet, Float, Smash, Tame, Glue, Polish<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saturation:<\/strong> 6 analogue saturation styles (mode-dependent)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operating Modes:<\/strong> Mono, stereo-linked, Mid\/Side, series, dual-band, de-esser<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise Gate:<\/strong> Per-channel with analogue lookahead<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sidechain:<\/strong> Internal routing + 4 external inputs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insert Points:<\/strong> TRS inserts per channel (bypassable, position selectable)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control:<\/strong> USB, Ethernet, DAW plug-in with total recall<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4 The Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4 is a powerful 4-channel digitally controlled analogue dynamics processor, designed to deliver the sound, feel, and musical behaviour of multiple classic compressors within a single, highly flexible unit.
