Quick Summary

Rack 2-channel denoiser/noise reduction processor. Expander + dynamic filter to suppress noise in audio signal paths.

Product Description

Behringer Denoiser SNR2000 is a 2-channel rack audio processor designed for noise reduction in live and studio setups. According to a contemporary review (The Mix, 1995), it combines an expander and a dynamic filter, which can be used separately or together.

Features and functions

  • 2-channel signal processing (dual channel)
  • Expander + dynamic filter processing (separately and combined)
  • Stereo link mode
  • 2x 8-segment LED metering per channel (gain reduction / cutoff frequency)
  • Rack 19" form factor (legacy hardware)
  • Balanced TRS + XLR audio I/O, IEC mains inlet

Primary I/O (quick orientation)

Controls

FRONT / TOP (user control)

  • IN/OUT switch
  • EXPANDER switch
  • THRESHOLD control
  • RELEASE control
  • RATIO control
  • FILTER switch
  • SENSITIVITY control (-50 dBu to +10 dBu)
  • CUTOFF frequency control (6 kHz to 800 Hz)
  • AUTO switch

Service / hidden elements

  • AUTO mode affects the release time and cutoff frequency in the dynamic filter section.

Typical routing

  • Insert denoiser on stereo bus: Inclusion of SNR2000 in stereo insert path between mixer and recorder/interface.
    • Mixer L/R send -> SNR2000 CH1/CH2 input
    • SNR2000 CH1/CH2 output -> recorder/interface input
    • Set threshold/release/sensitivity according to noise level
Connection instructions: The examples below show typical signal flows in practice. For specific details (jitter, buffering), see section above.

Notes / service / modifications

  • Part of the parameters is taken from the period review mu:zines / The Mix (Apr 1995), not from the official current datasheet.
  • Conservative mode: values without unambiguous confirmation remain unstated.
  • The local manual is stored in MANUALS; text extraction is partially limited by font encoding, therefore only clearly readable data is taken over.
  • Recommendation: when checking the PDF manually, especially confirm the max output level units (indicated as dBm in the review).
