Cedar DNS 2 Dialogue Noise Suppressor
The Cedar DNS 2, a dialogue noise suppressor, removes traffic noise, air conditioning, wind, rain, babble, and general background noise from two channels of audio.
It also helps compensate for unfavorable acoustics and poor microphone placement, and it suppresses excessive reverberation. To set it up, switch on the Learn function, which identifies and adapts to the background noise, then dial in the amount of attenuation you want. With near-zero latency, it suits location recording, live-to-air broadcasting, studio work and post, and live sound in theaters, concert halls, conference venues, and places of worship.
The DNS 2 is small and light enough to slip into a pocket or equipment bag. It has analog line inputs, microphone inputs with individually switchable phantom power, an AES3/AES11 digital input, and both analog and digital outputs. It can output the raw and processed versions of a single signal at the same time. It runs from a 12 V input in the field, with a supplied AC adapter, and it has camera mounting points.
