Introducing the CEDAR DNS3000
In 2000, CEDAR Audio launched the DNS1000 dialogue noise suppressor. This was a stand-
alone, desktop-format unit designed specifically for film production, dubbing, outside broadcast
(remote) and studio noise suppression. It was ideal for replacing analogue units that had been
in use for many years, and for use in situations where rapid setup and processing was required
‘on the fly’. Two years later, we released the DNS2000, a rackmount version of the DNS
technology designed specifically for use with Pro Tools, both on the Mac and PC.
Today, the DNS3000 offers the manual control of the DNS1000 and its successor, the DNS1500,
the Pro Tools integration of the DNS2000, plus an internal system of scenes, memories, and
(when slaved to timecode) snapshot automation with moving faders.
Quality, speed and simplicity are paramount considerations in the DNS range, and all three
models offer the following:
■
Near zero latency
A group delay of less than 10 samples (typically less than 1/200th of a frame) so there is no
loss of lip-sync when using DNS.
■
Flexibility
DNS will handle a wide range of noise suppression requirements.
■
Speed and ease of use
Each DNS offers a carefully designed user-interface that maximises speed of use.
■
Audio interfaces
24-bit digital audio interfaces conforming to AES/EBU and SPDIF standards.
■
Universal power supply
A DNS will work anywhere in the world.
■
Powerful processors
40-bit floating-point DSP processors ensure that each model will handle the most complex
processing requirements.
