Skywalker Sound, the state of the art audio post-production company, has already used the DNS1000 on the new Tom Hanks film 'Castaway' to improve the dialogue recordings by reducing sea-breeze, surf and general background noise.



CEDAR DNS1000

The free-standing DNS1000 is a breakthrough in noise suppression, and will remove rumble, hiss, whistles, broadband noise, and the 'shot' noise that often makes audio unusable.

As with all CEDAR products, the DNS1000 has a simple but elegant user-interface, powerful capabilities, and will help users avoid expensive overdub sessions that may have otherwise been necessary.

With virtually zero latency, its 40-bit multi-band processing is ideal for reducing noise from location sound, sound effects and dialogue.

Managing Director, Gordon Reid comments, "I am delighted that Skywalker Sound has purchased the first DNS1000. We designed it to satisfy the needs of the world's most prestigious and demanding users. We seem to have achieved that with the very first unit. As a Managing Director, I can't ask for more than that!"
