AN INTRODUCTION TO THE DNS 8 LIVE
The DNS 8 Live is a further development of the DNS technology rst introduced
in the Academy Award winning DNS1000, and it is designed specically for live
use. Offering eight simultaneous channels of dialogue noise suppression, it hosts
a new DNS algorithm boasting a simplied ‘2-knob’ approach as well as a detailed
editing mode that offers more exibility and control than any previous dialogue
noise suppressor. Nonetheless, it retains the near-zero latency of its predecessors
and, with its 4-pin 12VDC power socket and remote control capabilities, it’s 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.
The DNS 8 Live operates by dividing incoming signals into a large number of
spectral bands. Sophisticated lters analyse each of these and then suppress
the noise independently in each channel. The innovative design of the lter
bank eliminates the need to select the range of frequencies in which the unit will
operate, and it is not necessary to adjust the amount of attenuation in individual
bands unless you wish to do so.
Quality, speed and simplicity are paramount considerations in the DNS 8 Live,
which offers the following:
■ Near zero latency
A group delay of less than 10 samples (typically less than 1/200th of a
frame) so there is no loss of lip-sync.
■ Flexibility
The ability to handle a wide range of noise suppression requirements.
■ Speed and ease of use
A carefully designed user-interface that maximises speed of use.
■ Audio interfaces
24-bit digital audio interfaces conforming to AES/EBU standards.
■ Universal mains power supply and 12VDC power
The ability to work anywhere in the world.
■ Powerful processors
The latest, high resolution oating-point processors to ensure that it will
handle the most complex processing requirements.
■ Remote Control
The ability to monitor and adjust all audio processing parameters using a
range of common web browsers.
