Fulbourn, Cambridge, CB21 5BS, United Kingdom
What it is
CEDAR Cambridge is a 64-bit platform for speech enhancement and audio restoration on macOS and Windows. Its modular processing can be automated and is intended for work including audio forensics and security, archives and libraries, broadcast, and mastering. Voice extraction options include DNS, DNS Two, FNR, and VoicEX; noise-reduction tools include NR and Auto Dehiss. Forensic tools include impulse noise reduction, adaptive filters, and Trinity Enhance, while Retouch supports spectral editing. Dynamics, loudness control, and equalisation modules cover operations such as normalisation, compression, expansion, limiting, and EQ. Depending on hardware, it can process up to 100 times faster than real time. Cambridge can integrate with media asset management systems and add track reports and metadata to databases. Its Report Generator records processing details and exports PDF, HTML, or XML. Silent 1 is aimed at individual users, while Series V targets batch processing and can support multiple users with optional components. Pricing is from £349 with a 14-day trial; buyers are directed to contact CEDAR for hardware and system information.
