CEDAR Series X and Series X+
1997 - 2004
Series X was superseded by the CEDAR Duo series. There was no hardware replacement for Series X+.
Software solutions: CEDAR Studio and CEDAR Cambridge.
There are occasions when a fully-featured, computer-based audio processing system is not appropriate and a simpler solution may be more appropriate for your needs, which is why CEDAR created Series X and Series X+.
The five models in these ranges incorporated our most widely used algorithms packaged in convenient 1U rackmounts, each with a user-interface of unrivalled simplicity and elegance. Each Series X and Series X+ unit still operated in real-time and performed its task without fuss but such simplicity belied the power within, with all offering 24-bit AES/EBU and SPDIF I/O and the 40-bit floating-point processing of other CEDAR products.
Series X comprised three models: the DCX declicker, the CRX decrackler, and the DHX Dehisser. These were based upon the award-winning algorithms originally developed for CEDAR for Windows, but optimised for simplicity and speed of use. This made them a natural choice for those times when speed of setup was of the essence or when audio restoration had to be performed by non-expert users.
Series X+ comprised two models: the BRX+ debuzzer and the AZX+ Azimuth Corrector. These provided the facilities needed to perform debuzzing and phase/time correction in the quickest and simplest manner possible.
