The CEDAR DNS 8S is an eight-channel real-time dialogue noise suppressor developed for live sound and broadcast applications where audio over IP is not required. Using CEDAR’s advanced dialogue noise suppression technology, it reduces unwanted traffic, air conditioning, wind, rain, babble and general background noise while maintaining the near-zero latency required for critical live audio.
Designed around professional AES3 digital audio workflows, the DNS 8S is particularly well suited to concerts, festivals, conferences and other live events. It can also help compensate for poor microphone positioning, challenging acoustic conditions and excessive reverberation.
Eight channels of noise suppression provide the capacity required for multi-source productions. Standard and detailed operating modes give engineers flexible control from the front panel or remotely through a connected web browser.
For straightforward integration, the DNS 8S includes an AES/EBU breakout cable with four male and four female XLR connectors. Fail-safe AES3 hardware bypass relays help protect critical audio paths, while universal mains and 12 V DC power options make the DNS 8S suitable for a wide range of professional live and broadcast environments.

FAQs
What does the CEDAR DNS 8S do?
The CEDAR DNS 8S provides eight channels of real-time dialogue noise suppression for professional live sound and broadcast applications. It reduces unwanted sounds, including traffic, air conditioning, wind, rain, babble and general background noise, and can also help with poor microphone placement, challenging acoustic conditions and excessive reverberation.
How many channels does the CEDAR DNS 8S provide?
The CEDAR DNS 8S provides eight channels of real-time noise suppression. This makes it suitable for professional productions that need to process multiple dialogue or audio sources while maintaining the near-zero latency needed for live applications and lip-sync.
Is the CEDAR DNS 8S suitable for live sound?
Yes. The CEDAR DNS 8S was designed specifically for live sound and broadcast applications where audio over IP is not required. CEDAR identifies concerts, festivals, conferences and other live events as key applications, with near-zero latency processing helping preserve lip-sync while unwanted noise is suppressed.
What audio connections does the CEDAR DNS 8S use?
The CEDAR DNS 8S uses AES3 digital audio connectivity and is supplied with an AES/EBU breakout cable featuring four male and four female XLR connectors. This allows the processor to be connected to compatible professional digital audio equipment without requiring an audio-over-IP network.
What happens if the CEDAR DNS 8S loses power?
The CEDAR DNS 8S incorporates fail-safe AES3 audio bypass using hardware relays. In the event of a power failure or other significant disruption, these relays immediately connect the inputs to the outputs, helping make the processor appropriate for critical positions within a professional audio signal chain.

Thanks for the great service

Great service always a pleasure to deal with
Have used D2N headsets for years (borrowed from others) and finally got around to buying my own kit. Excellent sales guidance and support and having my own gear only confirmed the quality and performance. Delivery was prompt and everything arrived well packaged and protected.
The storage bag is a brillant addition to keep everything together.
The D2N Drivers Microphone Kit fits perfectly into our Stilo Helmet. The sound quality was by far superior to our previous kit, and I would highly recommend the team from D2N Technology Solutions to anyone who is in the market for either a helmet kit or a full team fitout. Their prices allow you to have the very best in in-car communications at an affordable price point. They also have leasing options available. Highly Recommended.
Great service
Professional, prompt service! When it comes to motorsport and things need to be sorted in time before races & rallies, D2N came to our add without delay, checked all our radio issues which have haunted us for too long, ironed out all the bugs, now we're back-on-track!
Hi, they work really well, the club would like to purchase 2 more of them please. Can you do a deal for 2 more with the connecters to GME please.
Good price, quick delivery, seems like good quality for the price.

Works great, instantly sent to me.
The products supplied by D2N was the best in the business. We used these items for the first time around Mount Panorama, Bathurst which is known for poor coverage and interference. Their products were top notch, perfect range and quality of voice around the whole circuit, super impressed!
Great service and delivery, helpful, technical assistance.
Great company and great products.
