DNA1

Reduce broadband noise, clicks, and crackles from your audio with the DNA1. Use the K-Stereo Ambience Processor to add depth and width to the sound by bringing out the ambience that’s already present in the recording.

RESTORE AND ENHANCE

The Weiss DNA1 is an extremely versatile toolbox for restoration work. It handles broadband noise reduction as well as de-clicking and de-crackling. The K-Stereo Ambience Processor brings back life to the music in case it lost some during de-noising, or generates a pseudo-stereo signal out of mono. Last but not least, an M/S matrix allows for defining the stereo width.

THREE ALGORITHMS

The broadband De-Noiser section works based on an FFT approach with a selectable number of frequency bands. The De-Noiser does not need to take a noise fingerprint, as it continually adapts to the noise signature. 

The de-clicker section is made up of nine main parameters. There are three groups of three parameters each. Each group — Quality, Sensitivity, and Click type — has individually selectable snapshots which allow you to zoom in on a particular de-clicking problem.

The K-Stereo processor can make a recording sound deeper and wider by identifying the ambience present in the recording and treating it separately.

SIGNAL PROCESSING, CONNECTIVITY

The internal processing is done in a 40 Bit floating-point format. Input signals can be between 44.1 and 96 kHz. The output can be POW-R dithered to 16, 20, or 24 Bits. The digital inputs/outputs are in AES/EBU format on XLR connectors.
