DNR6521x-VC1

Single-Channel Ultra-Low Latency AI Deep Noise Reduction Processor with Integrated USB and I2S Interfaces

1. Introduction

1.1 Product Description

DNR6521x is a high-performance AI deep noise reduction product based on XMOS processor architecture, designed to provide audio equipment manufacturers with exceptional audio processing capabilities. The product integrates two independently optimized AI noise reduction models.

  • The strong noise reduction model employs deep neural network architecture to effectively process various stationary and non-stationary noises in complex acoustic environments, achieving maximum noise suppression while ensuring high voice fidelity
  • The singing noise reduction model reduces processing latency to 11 milliseconds through lightweight design, effectively suppressing background noise while completely preserving vocal characteristics
  • The product supports I2S audio input and can simultaneously output to USB and I2S interfaces, widely applicable to live streaming equipment, conference systems, recording devices, outdoor sports DV, and other application fields
