Brick Lane Compression
Four-channel, 19-inch Modal PWM Dynamics Processor
12 January 2026
Cranborne Audio has released the Brick Lane MC4, a 4-channel, 19-inch rackmount Modal PWM Dynamics Processor that represents the most powerful and flexible evolution of analogue dynamics processing to date. Building on the revolutionary Modal PWM Compression architecture introduced in Brick Lane 500, Brick Lane MC4 expands the concept into a fully featured, digitally controlled analogue dynamics system for tracking, mixing, and mastering applications.
Brick Lane MC4 delivers four channels of fully analogue PWM compression and gating, each capable of operating independently or as part of advanced routing configurations including Stereo, Mid/Side, Series, Dual-Band, and De-Esser modes. With remote control and recall via USB or Ethernet, Brick Lane MC4 bridges classic analogue signal integrity with modern workflow precision.
Cranborne Audio MD, Sean Karpowicz says, “Brick Lane MC4 is something we’re genuinely proud of. It’s the result of years of obsessing over what analogue dynamics could be if you stop accepting the usual limitations. Discovering Analogue Lookahead was thrilling in itself, then applying it to compression, and then realising that the same technology could create what is quite possibly the best analogue noise gate and expander ever made – that’s the kind of invention we live for. Brick Lane MC4 isn’t just more channels or more features; it’s the most advanced analogue dynamics processor we’ve ever built, and one of the most advanced ever made.”
