IZotope ANR-B

According to iZotope, ANR-B uses iZotope’s advanced noise reduction technology to intelligently identify and suppress environmental broadband noise, hum, phone line artifacts and more, increasing the quality of audio broadcasts involving radio call-in programs and on-location broadcasting. We’re told that unlike other noise reduction solutions, iZotope’s ANR-B actually detects noise in real-time and adapts to changing noise over time, allowing for automatic operation with little to no input required from the user.

Designed to suit a wide range of broadcast applications, the two-channel ANR-B features broadcast connections including analog and digital I/O, LAN for advanced parameter control, and remote automation capability. While ANR-B is designed to automatically determine a noise print, a manual learn function enables the unit to reduce noise of a specific trained profile, adding to the unit’s flexibility.

Key Features:

• Automatically removes noise from audio in real-time
  
• Two channels can work independently or as a stereo pair
  
• Includes presets for specific scenarios
  
• Residual Noise switch lets user quickly preview the noise being removed
  
• Single knob controls noise suppression on each channel for fast operation
  
• Learn button allows for manual operation by capturing a noise profile
  
• PC/Mac interface for managing presets and designing advanced programs
  
• Remote control capability
