The sound you want - In the format you need

Karno SEPIA addresses all the fallbacks of audio hardware, while utilising the perks of audio software. Backed by hundreds of high-profile engineers, SEPIA revolutionises the creative industries and brings limitless potential to users and manufacturers alike.

The Platform, Modules, Hosts and Innovation

SEPIA is a platform built up of Modules and Hosts. Modules are brought to you by all your favourite manufacturers, while Hosts house them for all scenarios. Karno’s patent-pending Bridging Signal Flow between Module and Host creates a completely analog signal path, exploiting digitally controlled analog infrastructure, to provide a fully featured platform for the modern user.

Modules - Original designs from your favourite brands

A SEPIA Module could be anything: from microphone preamps, equalisers, dynamics processors, effects, vacuum tube designs, DSP and more. Brought to you by your favourite brands, SEPIA modules house original components and designs, giving you authentic sound in a modular, compact and durable form factor.

Hosts - Completing the circuit

To house SEPIA Modules are Hosts. Manufactured by Karno, SEPIA Hosts span the audio industry with forms optimised for all scenarios, from the desktop of a home studio to the stagebox of an arena concert. Regardless of form, SEPIA hosts contain the Mainframe, the heart of the SEPIA platforms technology.

Mainframe - The foundation of the SEPIA technology

Hosts contain the Mainframe comprising of Universal Elements (UEs) and a state-of-the-art routing matrix. UEs are made up of atonal stages redesigned to be as compact and efficient as possible, paired with Karno’s patent-pending Bridging Signal Flow between Host and Module, a complete circuit is achieved. With more packed in, a novel thermal system has been implemented to keep Modules cool, no matter the drive. Hosts also provide the exact power required for each Module’s design, something never before seen in a modular format.
