Cedar DNS8 Multi-Channel Noise Suppressor

Available from Mid-September 2026

The DNS8 Live is the first DNS designed specifically for live broadcasting and live sound. With eight simultaneous channels of dialogue noise suppression (formatted as AES3 on XLR sockets plus DB25 using the AES59 pin-out) it hosts a new DNS algorithm boasting a simplified '2-knob' approach as well as a detailed editing mode that offers more control than any previous dialogue noise suppressor. Nonetheless, it retains the near-zero latency of all its predecessors, making it suitable for use in all live situations - not just broadcasting, but also live sound in venues such as theatres, concert halls, conferences venues, and places of worship.

Features:

• Eight channels of dialogue noise suppression
• A unique DNS algorithm with rapid 2-knob setup per channel
• Detailed DNS mode ideal for permanent installations
• 1U rackmount with 90V-250V universal PSU and 12VDC input
