CEDAR Audio Declip

Declipping module for Cambridge Host System
MFR# CAM8

Product Description

The Problem:

Clipping occurs when a piece of equipment or a medium carrying a signal is unable to handle a high level presented at its input, and will usually be heard as a harsh distortion that increases in intensity as the clipping becomes heavier.  In all cases of clipping, it is the portions of the waveform near its extremities that are affected, while portions of the waveform closer to zero are unaffected.  Examples of clipping include:

Digital clipping

The signal contains many false samples. Viewing the audio waveform would reveal 'flat tops', at which points the genuine signal is destroyed and replaced by false samples at the maximum amplitude. 

Clipping of analogue equipment and media

There are many different types of analogue clipping, and these will usually be less obvious than digital clipping.  This means that the hard edges visible in the former case are replaced by a more rounded profile.

The Solution:

Declip is a genuine declipping algorithm that allows you to identify and remove most instances of clipping in a single real-time pass.  It does so by presenting a visual indication of the density of sample values in the signal.  If the Signal Analysis window displays 'hard' vertical edges, this demonstrates that the signal has been clipped at that sample value.  It is then simple to remove the offending samples and reconstruct the signal. If you wish to inspect a region of the display more closely, you can use zoom to increase the resolution, allowing you to see finer detail within the signal.  Furthermore, like the CEDAR Cambridge Spectrum Analyser, Declip offers multiple display modes that help you to analyse the audio correctly. 

Two processing modes are provided, and these allow you to choose between an algorithm optimised for light clipping, and one optimised for heavy amounts of clipping.  This ensures that you remove the problem without causing damage to the genuine signal. 

Since the amplitude of a declipped signal can be significantly greater than that of the incoming signal, CEDAR Cambridge provides Gain controls in the dedicated Gain Module and in the Dither Module.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
