Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500 Compressor

The Brick Lane 500 from Cranborne Audio is an advanced analog PWM compressor designed to redefine dynamics control in professional audio production. Powered by its innovative Modal PWM Compression architecture, this module provides unmatched flexibility by offering multiple distinct compression styles within a single unit. Each mode represents a unique compression approach, delivering a wide range of sonic characteristics tailored to various applications.

From gentle, Vari-Mu-inspired curves to rapid FET-like responsiveness, the Brick Lane 500 adapts seamlessly to any creative need. Compression ratio, attack, release, and knee behaviors dynamically shift between modes, providing precise control over tonal and dynamic shaping. The versatile Stress control enhances each mode, offering options like subtle harmonic warmth, transient shaping, mix glue, and loudness optimization. Ideal for mixing and sound design, the Brick Lane 500 delivers the power of multiple legendary compressors in one compact module, making it a powerful tool for professionals seeking a flexible and creative approach to compression.

Modal Compression:

The Sonic Transformation Engine

The Brick Lane 500 introduces six distinct compression characters, each meticulously crafted to deliver unique sonic signatures:

VELVET
Vintage Vari-Mu-style musicality with Tube-inspired harmonic compression, offering smooth, organic dynamic control with vintage tonal warmth and character.

FLOAT
Transparent Opto-inspired dynamics with moderate transparency and gentle, wavelike compression ballistics.

SMASH
FET-style transient dominance with aggressive dynamic reduction, and explosive punch and sonic impact.

TAME
Precision transient management with ultra-fast, transparent control and surgical dynamic precision.

GLUE
Glue together all the elements of your mix with this on your master bus for gentle bus-style compression.

POLISH
Ultimate mastering-style limiting with the cleanest, fastest analogue limiter with our Analogue-Lookahead technology.

Stress Control: A Sonic Shapeshifter

The STRESS control becomes a chameleon, radically changing its harmonic character and saturation profile in each mode. What adds subtle tube warmth in VELVET becomes a transient-destroying beast in SMASH, a mix-gluing agent in GLUE, and a loudness/clipping finaliser in POLISH. It's not just a feature - it's a sonic shapeshifter that redefines compression as a creative sound design and mixing tool.

Stereo-Link via OPTOSYNC

Brick Lane 500 Optosync Closeup 1200x400 (Render)

Brick Lane 500 features Cranborne Audio’s OPTOSYNC technology, enabling two Brick Lane 500 units to work as a perfect stereo pair for mixes and stereo sources.

Using OPTOSYNC, all controls are synchronized from the left unit to the right without cables or internal fixings. Switch OPTOSYNC for all slave units to ON and its controls all synchronize to the master unit wirelessly using LED and optical communication. You can also use OPTOSYNC to link together multiple units for applying the same sonic footprint across entire summing mixers or multi-channel surround mixes.
