Having designed the DNS dialogue noise suppressor for off-line studio use and watched it become a postproduction standard, Cedar Audio subsequently saw hundreds of units finding their way into football stadia and other sports venues, in newsrooms and live TV studios, in use at live-to-air events such as The Grammys and Super Bowl, and onto location carts.
In response, Cedar has now released the first DNS variant designed specifically for live use.
With eight simultaneous channels of dialogue noise suppression, the DNS 8 Live hosts a new DNS algorithm boasting a simplified ‘two-knob’ approach, as well as a detailed editing mode that offers more control than any previous dialogue noise suppressor. It retains the same near-zero latency of all its predecessors, making it suitable for use in all live situations – not just live-to-air broadcasting, but also live sound in venues such as theatres, concert halls, conferences venues, and places of worship.
Recognising that many users will not have ready access to a mains power supply, it also has a standard 4-pin 12V DC input.
Users needing to control the DNS 8 Live with laptops, iPads and other (perhaps as yet unseen) devices, the DNS 8 Live has the ability to respond to a simple, web-based remote control interface. With the DNS 8 RC software due for release later in 2012, the DNS will no longer be tied to a DAW, but will work with almost any web browser.
The DNS 8 Live will be launched at the IBC2012 Convention and will be available in
September 2012.
