Cranborne Audio Brick Lane MC4
This is Brick Lane MC4
The World’s Most Advanced Analogue Dynamics Processor
Brick Lane MC4 is a 2u 19-Inch rack, 4-channel Modal PWM Dynamics Processor with Mono, Stereo, Mid/Side, Series, Dual-Band, and De-Esser operation. An evolution of our Brick Lane 500 Modal PWM Compressor.
A New Reference in Analogue Dynamics Processing
Brick Lane MC4 represents a major leap forward in analogue dynamics design — combining pure analogue PWM compression (compression+gate), multi-band saturation, and analogue lookahead technology within a digitally controlled, recallable hardware platform. Each channel features a Brick Lane MC4 Modal PWM compressor with six distinct compression modes, alongside an enhanced noise gate with analogue lookahead.
