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.

Where can I buy the CEDAR DNS 8S in Australia?
The CEDAR DNS 8S is available through D2N Technology Solutions. D2N distributes CEDAR Audio professional noise suppression, speech enhancement, forensic audio and restoration solutions in Australia and can assist with selecting and integrating a CEDAR solution for professional audio applications.
