The command centre for your studio

Cranborne Audio 500R8 is the ideal core element of small and medium-sized studio setups and represents a combination of 500 rack, USB audio/MIDI interface, analogue summing, monitor controller and ADAT converter. This means that the 500R8 masters all the central tasks and control options that the sound engineer wants to access at his workstation and can also be integrated into any existing environment thanks to its numerous connections and taps.

The rear panel also features XLR inputs and outputs and the TRS inserts for each module and the connectors for Cranborne Audio's own C.A.S.T. system, which transmits analogue signals via standard CAT5 cables. On the front panel, you can now set for each module whether USB, C.A.S.T. or XLR is to be used as the source.

The Cranborne Audio 500R8 is a well-designed system that shines with high-quality components, first-class electrical properties and multifunctionality. Separate monitor paths for technicians and musicians, switchable linking of several modules, numerous connections, including one for talkback and the summing function, are strong arguments in favour of this concept made in the UK.
