Main Features

Weiss DNA1

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.

Bernie Becker Recording, USA

Thank you for letting me try the DNA1. I absolutely love this box….[This is the] noise reduction…I have been looking for for years. It works without being destructive…again my hats off to you for implementing in a box like this.

Chris Hatzistamou

Athens Mastering, Greece

Itʼs simply amazing. Itʼs the best de-noiser I ever heard. Itʼs the only one that does not destroy the tails of the reverbs, the only one that fixes the comb-filtering in the high frequencies.

Otto Donner

DER, Finland

We found the DNA1 a delightful piece of equipment. I mention this because we don’t have any earlier first hand experience of Weiss products except for seeing and using some in other studios.

Rob Fraboni

Effortless Masters, USA

Sorry I havenʼt gotten a chance to tell you sooner how much I like the DNA1. I would definitely like to buy one.
