Congratulations on your purchase of 500R8 and thank you for selecting Cranborne Audio to be
a part of your music creation process.
What we set out to achieve with 500R8 was putting control back into the hands of musicians
and engineers. In a sea of products that rely on computer integration and a “virtual emulation”
mentality, we set out to offer an alternative that places a true, customisable, and flexible
analogue front-end at the forefront of music creation - after all, the feel and touch of a
musician is analogue and that’s where the music begins.
Working in harmony with 500R8’s analogue stages is its high-performance digital stages. Each
and every component inside 500R8 has been carefully considered to ensure that every nuance
of your 500 series module is translated into the best possible digital signal to be processed. We
employ converters with specifications that rival that of the best standalone units whilst being
governed by our master reference-grade clock featuring less than 0.5 picoseconds of jitter.
Cranborne Audio, for us, means so much more than metal boxes with components in them.
These are our labours of love that embody and demonstrate our demand for excellence. By
distilling what matters and putting our soul into these tools, we hope to help other people
make magic and express themselves, and in some way, become part of our Cranborne Audio
family.
So welcome to our family. We care for our family. And we care about making your tracks,
albums, scores sound as good as they should.
