Carmen V

The Carmen V is a versatile four-channel mixer that continues the distinguished lineage of our Carmen series, which dates back to the original model. It is elegantly housed in bespoke wooden framing and features large VU meters, embodying a design that reflects its rich heritage. This mixer is equipped with a musical 3-way channel equalizer, offering extensive cut and boost capabilities that allow you to adjust and balance tracks seamlessly during mixing.

Among its standout features, Carmen V includes three discrete phono pre-amps, enhancing the clarity and depth of your records with added sparkle and oomph. Additionally, the renowned all-discrete Class-A 4-pole master isolator in Carmen V has been fine-tuned for a flatter response while still providing dramatic effects in both boost and cut modes. Known for its silky smooth characteristics, the isolator complements the mixer’s sonic palette and can be configured optionally as a 4-way setup. This includes a sub control ranging from 80-10Hz and a 3-4 mode switch, which can convert it to a standard 3-way isolator, omitting the sub control. Both isolation (ISO) versions come with a true bypass feature, optimizing the signal path for clearer listening experiences and also functioning as a frequency band kill switch.

For enhanced audio effects, an FX send option is available for each channel, allowing for the integration of a high-quality stereo effect pedal into your mixes. The Carmen V is built and shipped from Australia, backed by a 2-year warranty. The typical build time ranges from approximately 24-26 weeks, though this may vary, so potential customers are encouraged to contact us for more accurate information regarding build times and other inquiries.
