Product Description
Details
Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500 – Analog PWM Compressor in 500 Series Format
The Cranborne Audio Brick Lane 500 is the ultimate solution for demanding audio professionals. This innovative, fully analog 500-series compressor redefines the classic approach to dynamic control. Thanks to its proprietary modal PWM compression technology, users gain access to six unique modes, each emulating a different compression philosophy – from soft, tube-like warmth to aggressive transient shaping. This is not just a compressor – it's a complete tone-sculpting tool at the highest level.
Product Features
- Advanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) compression technology
- 6 distinct compression modes: VELVET, FLOAT, SMASH, TAME, GLUE, POLISH
- Unique “Stress” control for harmonic coloration
- Analogue Lookahead – predictive transient detection
- Wireless stereo sync via OPTOSYNC
- True bypass, sidechain HPF, and auto-calibration
- Fully analog signal path without A/D conversion
Revolutionary Modal PWM Compression
At the heart of the Brick Lane 500 lies its groundbreaking PWM architecture. Unlike traditional FET, VCA, or Vari-Mu compressors, PWM enables virtually limitless control over the compression envelope and dynamic response. Each mode – from VELVET to POLISH – offers a distinct processing style with tailored attack and release times, compression curves, and ratio settings. It’s like having six world-class compressors in one compact 500-series module.
Applications
The Brick Lane 500 is ideal for every stage of music production: tracking, mixing, and mastering. GLUE is perfect for bus compression, SMASH brings punch to drums, while FLOAT and VELVET shine on vocals and acoustic instruments. POLISH acts as a clean, precise mastering limiter that enhances final loudness and clarity.

What compression modes does the Brick Lane 500 offer?
It features six modes: VELVET, FLOAT, SMASH, TAME, GLUE, and POLISH – each with distinct sonic characteristics and behavior.
What is the purpose of the “Stress” control?
It adjusts harmonic saturation per mode, adding creative tonal coloration and drive to the sound.
Is the Brick Lane 500 fully analog?
Yes, it provides a pure analog signal path with no digital conversion — for uncompromised audio quality.
How does the Analogue Lookahead work?
This feature predicts transient peaks in POLISH mode, enabling transparent, zero-latency limiting.
Can two modules be used in stereo?
Yes, thanks to OPTOSYNC wireless synchronization, two units can be linked without cables for stereo operation.
What are the dimensions and weight?
Dimensions: 38 mm (width) x 133.35 mm (height) x 172.3 mm (depth); weight: 0.4 kg.
What sidechain filters are available?
Four options: OFF, 60 Hz, 100 Hz, and 200 Hz for precise low-end control in compression.
Does the unit feature true bypass?
Yes, it includes a switchable true-bypass mode with input trim options for flexible routing.
