The Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4 Dynamics Processor delivers an extraordinary level of control, flexibility, and sonic character for modern tracking, mixing, and mastering workflows.
Building on the groundbreaking Brick Lane 500, the MC4 expands Cranborne Audio’s unique Modal PWM compression concept into a powerful 19-inch, 2U, four-channel analogue dynamics processor with digitally controlled precision and recall. Designed for engineers who demand both creative versatility and mastering-grade accuracy, the Brick Lane MC4 bridges classic analogue behaviour with forward-thinking control. At its core, the Brick Lane MC4 is a fully analogue, pure PWM dynamics processor offering four channels of compression and gating that can be configured for mono, stereo, Mid/Side, Series, Dual-Band, or De-Esser operation. Each channel features Cranborne Audio’s proprietary Modal PWM compression architecture, allowing radically different compression behaviours within a single signal path. From vintage-inspired warmth to ultra-fast, transparent limiting, the MC4 adapts effortlessly to vocals, drums, bass, mix buses, and full programme material. Advanced analogue lookahead technology ensures precise transient control with zero latency, while harmonically rich saturation modes add depth, density, or impact as needed. With full USB and Ethernet connectivity, the Brick Lane MC4 integrates seamlessly into hybrid studios, offering total recall and real-time control via a dedicated plugin. A large full-colour TFT display, LED rings, and digital encoders provide clear visual feedback, making the MC4 intuitive to operate directly from the front panel or remotely from within your DAW. Flexible insert points, comprehensive sidechain routing, and deep ENIGMA compression parameters further elevate the Brick Lane MC4 into a true centerpiece for sophisticated analogue signal chains.
