We are the recipients of numerous awards including an Academy Award® and are proud to include many of the world's most significant broadcasters as customers and friends.

What We Do
Our dialogue noise suppressors can be placed in the audio path of the broadcast chain with no loss of lip-sync, and their simple control panels and remote control interfaces make it possible to install and use them quickly and effectively. They are vital in newsrooms and studios that suffer from the noise generated by air conditioning and fans as well as unfavourable acoustics and excessive reverberation. If you watch the major news channels, games shows and reality TV, there’s a very real chance that you’re listening to audio that is being cleaned in real-time using CEDAR. Our products are also used widely in sports broadcasting including the FIFA World Cup, the summer and winter Olympics, the Super Bowl, Premier League Football, grand-slam tennis tournaments, as well as high-profile ceremonies such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes.
The CEDAR DNS 8D has been designed specifically for broadcast and live sound. With eight channels of noise suppression, it marries the best of the machine learning and signal processing on which the DNS 8 Live and the DNS 2 dialogue noise suppressors are based. With its slick user-interface that includes standard and detailed modes of operation it offers better control than any previous dialogue noise suppressor, both from the front panel and from almost any web browser that can access its internal remote control software. With its near-zero latency and standard 4-pin 12VDC input in addition to universal mains power, it's 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.
The CEDAR DNS 2 was designed specifically for portability and simplicity of use. It requires nothing more than switching on the Learn function that identifies and adapts to the background noise, and then dialing in the amount of noise attenuation required. Retaining the near-zero latency of its predecessors, it's suitable for use in all situations - location recording, live-to-air broadcasting, live sound in venues such as theatres, concert halls, conferences venues, and places of worship, as well as studio work and post. What's more, despite being so small and light that you can slip it inside your pocket or equipment bag, the DNS 2 offers analogue line and microphone inputs (the latter with optional 48V phantom powering), an AES3/AES11 digital input, and both analogue and digital outputs. This increases its flexibility even further, and its 12V power input means that you can use it in the middle of a field as easily as in the studio or the edit suite.
For post-production, CEDAR offers dedicated systems as well as plug-ins for all of the common editing platforms. These have been called “the Gold Standard against which all others are judged” and, from the smallest productions to the largest blockbuster movies, low-budget TV to major dramas and soaps, people rely on them to eliminate their audio problems. Available as a range of AAX, VST2, VST3 and AU plug-ins (as well as offering a standalone version of Retouch™), CEDAR Studio 8 comprises eleven advanced processes that allow you to eliminate a wide range of common problems and significantly improve the sound quality of your audio. Each CEDAR Studio 8 process has been derived from our multi-award-winning CEDAR Cambridge™ flagship, and provides unsurpassed results, quickly, and with the minimum of fuss and user intervention.
When the audio really matters, audio engineers rely upon CEDAR.
