MOJO ist ein analoger SĂ€ttigungsschaltkreis, den wir entwickelt haben, um dem VorverstĂ€rker-Signal Obertöne, FĂ€rbung und SĂ€ttigung hinzuzufĂŒgen, in Reminiszenz an einige unserer beliebtesten Übertrager- und RöhrenvorverstĂ€rker-Designs (ohne allerdings teure Übertrager und Röhren zu verwenden!). Wenn er aus ist, bekommst Du unblaublich sauberen Camden-Sound, aber wenn Du MOJO aktivierst stehen Dir zwei weitere, einzigartige Möglichkeiten zur VerfĂŒgung, um Deine Aufnahme zu veredeln und zu fĂ€rben." ![clean](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clean.png?width=300&name=clean.png) VollstĂ€ndige Transparenz Ohne zugeschaltetes MOJO erlebst Du die preisgekrönte Transparenz und Performance des Preamps. Nimm Mikrofon-, Line- und Hi-Z-Signale mit höchster Detailtreue auf, ganz ohne Rauschen oder Verzerrungen. Mit seinem erstaunlichen, naturgetreuen Einschwingverhalten ĂŒber alle Frequenzen kann der Camden EC1 mĂŒhelos dynamische Mikrofone oder BĂ€ndchenmikrofone mit geringem Ausgangspegel verstĂ€rken oder Kondensatormikrofonen Details auf höchstem Niveau entlocken. ✅ NatĂŒrliche Vocals ✅ Sprache ✅ Akustische Gitarre ✅ Piano ![thump](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/thump.png?width=301&name=thump.png) Transformer Saturation![Background](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Background.jpg?width=600&name=Background.jpg) WĂ€hle MOJO ""Thump"", und der Camden EC1 bringt SĂ€ttigung und Obertöne nach dem Vorbild klassischer, Übertrager-basierter GerĂ€te. Thump fĂŒgt ein ausgewogenes VerhĂ€ltnis von grad- und ungradzahligen Obertönen fĂŒr ein sattes Low-End sowie einen High-End-Roll-Off hinzu, der sich wie ein klassischer VorverstĂ€rker mit Transformator anfĂŒhlt. ✅ Kick, Toms ✅ Bass Gitarre ✅ Mix Bus ![cream](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cream.png?width=301&name=cream.png) Tube Saturation![nos-12ax7-mullard-u](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nos-12ax7-mullard-u.jpg?width=600&name=nos-12ax7-mullard-u.jpg) WĂ€hle MOJO ""Cream"", und der Camden EC1 liefert eine SĂ€ttigung, die Röhren- und röhrenbasierten GerĂ€ten nachempfunden ist. Eine kleine Portion Cream fĂŒgt dem Signal Textur hinzu und rundet es ab. Dabei kommen hauptsĂ€chlich ungerade Obertöne zum Tragen. Das Mittensignal wird geschmeidiger und die dynamische SĂ€ttigung klingt wie ein heiß angefahrener RöhrenvorverstĂ€rker! ✅ Snare, Overheads, RĂ€ume ✅ Synths ✅ E-Gitarre # Noch mehr Tools fĂŒr Dein Studio ![DI-1](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DI-1.png?width=755&name=DI-1.png)Herausragende Instrument-DI Es ist wichtig, wie Du Dein instrument aufnimmst! Mit der richtigen DI kann Dein Bass-Track schon fertig klingen, bevor Du ĂŒberhaupt ein Plug-In anfasst! Der Camden EC1 bietet ein einzigartiges BJT Hi-Z-Eingangsdesign, das druckvoll und reaktionsschnell ist. ![Link-1](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Link-1.png?width=755&name=Link-1.png)Link-Ausgang fĂŒr Reamping Reamping von Gitarren? Der Link-Ausgang des Camden EC1 ist ein direkter Ausgang des Hi-Z-Schaltkreises, der es Dir ermöglicht, den DI-Eingang ohne Umwege an den Gitarrenamp zu schicken, wĂ€hrend Du das DI-Signal im Computer aufnehmen kannst, um es spĂ€ter zu reampen! ![Mix](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mix.png?width=755&name=Mix.png) Analoger Kopfhörer-Mixer Mit dem integrierten 4-Kanal-Line-Mixer des Camden EC1 kannst Du Dein VorverstĂ€rkersignal in Echtzeit latenzfrei abhören und mit der DAW-Wiedergabe zusammenmischen - perfekt fĂŒr die beste Performance beim Vocal-Tracking. ![HP](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/HP.png?width=755&name=HP.png) KopfhörerverstĂ€rker der Referenzklasse Der KopfhörerverstĂ€rker des Camden EC1 bietet das Referenzdesign, das fĂŒr das 500R8-Audiointerface entwickelt wurde, und liefert eine saubere VerstĂ€rkerleistung von 1,2 W pro Ohr sowie einen linearen Frequenzgang von 5 Hz bis 70 kHz - perfekt fĂŒr Mixing und Mastering. I'm a sneaky spacer ## Customer Reviews > "Ich habe mir den Camden 500 als zweiten Preamp gekauft, um eine klangliche Alternative zu meinem Heritage Audio 73 JR zu haben. Laut Cranborne Audio war das Ziel beim Camden 500, den besten und neutralsten Preamp zu entwickeln. Ob es wirklich der allerbeste ist, kann ich nicht sagen ... meiner Meinung nach ist es ein sehr gut klingender neutraler Preamp zu einem wirklich gĂŒnstigen Preis. Klarer und detaillierter Sound, schnelle Transienten, noch etwas besser als die eingebauten Preamps in meinem Audiointerface (Audient id44). Die "Mojo"-Funktion kann zudem eine KlangfĂ€rbung auf 2 verschiedene Arten erzeugen. Diese gefĂ€llt mir persönlich weniger, daher bleibt sie aus." > I think these will become a classic. This is the most versatile preamp I have ever used. I tried to beat it with plugins and just couldn't come close. > Extremely transparent, low noise preamp with the option to add character via the two “Mojo” circuits “Cream” and “Thump”. I bought these to replace some more expensive ”clean” preamps and the added bonus of the mojo feels like I got an upgrade in doing so. Ended up going back for more Mojo and now I have 4 of these! > To summarize: This is the best preamp in 500 series and one of the best in the world in general, and it's from a very fair company that has fair prices and which has a true focus on high sound quality above all. > I bought these to replace some more expensive ”clean” preamps and the added bonus of the mojo feels like I got an upgrade in doing so. Ended up going back for more Mojo and now I have 4 of these! > Ok. So I have been around recording for 20+ years messing around on my own, even had a commercial studio operating pre Covid and I have tried every preamp known to mankind. This preamp squarely falls into the "clean and uncolored" category by their own marketing material and the placard that's is placed in the box with the Camden. > > How they are doing this at this price point is straight up voodoo. Sound amazing with my solid state mics and my tube mics. Balanced across all frequencies, the clean setting is flat out amazing and punches WAY above where it should be punching. > > Pretty blown away. Would be very happy with a large lunchbox full or nothing but these. > I got one, then immediately another - I've used them to track drums. In one instance I was short 1 pre and had to use this on the extra floor tom along side the RND 511's on rack 1 and floor 1. Wow. Nothing lacking at all amongst the 3 pres. I've been also using them extensively in tracking and mixing and the mojo is infinitely useful. Zero'd out with line level material run back through- they are invisible. For a modular, hybrid, systems where it's useful to have tools with many uses ... this earns its place straight away and rivals 500 dollar price point preamps. > Have had a pair of these fabulous preamps in my rack for about a year and my Neve and UA preamps are pretty much gathering dust. Fabulous clean but not sterile sound with extremely low noise floor. I pair them with my Sphere L22 and the combination is unbeatable. Transparency coupled with ultra low noise, a very natural and warm sound.  > Have only recorded violin so far but it sounds really great on this instrument when a lot of other, and expensive, preamps sound harsher. And the mojo coloration adds a nice versatility. Love the headphone amps. > For my review of the Camden EC2 I started typing about comparing my recordings to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" but was afraid it would come across as too hyperbolic. Nevertheless it's a fitting analogy. > > When I got the Camden EC2 in December I was planning to fully use it on album #3, but after experimenting with it I figured it was worth redoing ALL the vocals for #2 which. Warm, smooth, rich, punchy or whatever adjectives you are grasping for trying to produce the sound from your imagination, the EC2 has versatility in spades. The cream & thump switch and the mojo knob on the interface is intuitive which makes the learning curve quick and experimentation fun. > > From personal research and after speaking with Luke @ Sweetwater there seemed to be a quality and versatility tradeoff in the other preamps at this price point. I'm excited by the energy the Cranborne team has for their products and wish them many years of success! > I think these will become a classic. This is the most versatile preamp I have ever used. I tried to beat it with plugins and just couldn't come close. ## Camden Audio Examples [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/j12TlvclqEA/mqdefault.jpg) Drum Kit ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/oO1qhIuYoIU/mqdefault.jpg) Vocals ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/GwO4e0TyDqg/mqdefault.jpg) Acoustic Guitar ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/Bpmfc5X4VNk/mqdefault.jpg) Drum Machine ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/5ItIIHvOZyM/mqdefault.jpg) VST Drums ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/J0aSGFdF8yU/mqdefault.jpg) Bass Guitar ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/jotHUIojbcY/mqdefault.jpg) Synth Bass ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/8Z3wp_8-RUU/mqdefault.jpg) Drum Overheads ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) [![](https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/cvcljB95VLY/mqdefault.jpg) Electric Guitar ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/camdenec1_promo_germany#) ![Logo_white High Res](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo_white%20High%20Res.png?width=200&name=Logo_white%20High%20Res.png "Logo_white High Res") ![comodo_secure_seal_76x26_transp](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/comodo_secure_seal_76x26_transp.png?width=76&name=comodo_secure_seal_76x26_transp.png "comodo_secure_seal_76x26_transp")   Cranborne Audio, Harvest House, Cranborne Rd, Potters Bar, EN6 3JF [Privacy Policy ](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/privacypolicy?hsLang=en) | [Warranty Policy](https://www.cranborne-audio.com/warrantypolicy?hsLang=en) All rights reserved.
