Brick Lane Compression

Cranborne Audio has announced its latest product, Brick Lane 500 – the world’s first Modal Compressor. Powered by the cleanest, fastest PWM compression circuit in existence, the Brick Lane 500 is a fully analogue PWM compressor that provides unparalleled control, tonal flexibility, and sonic quality. Cranborne Audio MD, Sean Karpowicz says “Continuing our dedication to true innovation and pushing the boundaries of audio, we are excited to announce our newest creation – Brick Lane 500. Whether you want the fastest, cleanest analogue compressor in existence, or the vibey-est vintage compressor, or anything in between – the Brick Lane 500 gives you the ultimate tool in analogue compression.”
A Technological Breakthrough in Dynamic Processing
The Brick Lane 500 represents a quantum leap in analogue compression — a fully-analogue PWM Compressor that transcends traditional dynamics control methodologies through its revolutionary Modal PWM Compression architecture. Brick Lane 500 is the fastest, cleanest analogue compressor in existence when in POLISH mode thanks to its unique ANALOGUE LOOKAHEAD feature and high-spec PWM compressor circuit – an ideal mastering-style limiter. But by changing the MODE and with a quick turn of the STRESS control – the Brick Lane 500 can become a “vintage-style” analogue compressor, or a punchy modern compressor to smash drums in parallel. All of it is possible with Brick Lane 500.
Revolutionary Modal PWM Compression Architecture
At the heart of the Brick Lane 500 lies its groundbreaking Modal PWM Compression technology—a paradigm-shifting approach that empowers audio professionals with unparalleled compression flexibility. Unlike conventional compressors, this innovative design allows for unlimited shaping of compression envelopes and styles – without compromise.
Key Features:
● 500 Series Modal PWM Compressor meticulously developed by the Cranborne
Audio team in the UK
● Custom PWM compression circuit and unique ‘Stress’ control for
Harmonically-enriched compression effects

compression ratio, knee, compression style, and compression rate of change.
● Threshold control and variable-range Attack and Release controls (altered per
mode)
● 12-segment LED level meter and 12-segment LED Gain Reduction Meter
● 4 selectable sidechain HPF modes – OFF, 60Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz
● ±20dB Input and Output/Make-up Gain Level to tailor the compression and
saturation character to the source
● OptoSync wireless communication between modules for linked controls during
stereo operation
● ⅛” TRS socket for linking non-adjacent modules
● Circuit auto-calibration for perfect stereo matching between all modules
