What McDSP NR800 HD v7 Is For
McDSP NR800 HD v7 is a noise reduction processor designed to quickly and cleanly attenuate unwanted noise in an audio signal while preserving intelligibility and musicality. It is suitable for vocals (breath, ventilation, room noise), dialogue in postproduction (constant background, mild hum, unwanted ambience), as well as sensitive instrumental sources (acoustic guitars, strings, close mics). Its real-time operation with zero internal latency also makes it relevant in live sound or broadcast contexts where responsiveness is essential.
Main Features
Signal Preparation with HPF/LPF Filters
Before noise reduction, the NR800 HD v7 offers a high-pass filter (HPF) and a low-pass filter (LPF) to focus processing on the truly useful frequency band. This step helps limit artifacts by avoiding "working" on unnecessary spectral extremes and improves result stability, especially on vocals and dialogue tracks.
8 Targetable Noise Reduction Bands
The core of the plugin relies on eight bands allowing focused reduction where noise is most present. This approach promotes a more natural cleanup than overly broad processing, letting the useful signal breathe and limiting pumping effects. For the sound engineer, it provides real control to balance cleanliness and transparency depending on the source.
Modes, Bias, and Global Response Control
NR800 HD v7 includes reduction modes and a noise reduction bias parameter to tailor the processing behavior to the audio material and noise type. You also have control over the global reduction range and response, handy for quickly adjusting the cleaning intensity and shaping the dynamics of the processing on a bus, vocal track, or postproduction stem.
Snap Gain and Snap Threshold: Quick Setup
To speed up workflow, the Snap Gain and Snap Threshold functions enable rapid level and threshold setup, useful when processing multiple takes, chaining scenes, or simply obtaining a reliable starting point before fine-tuning. A concrete productivity asset for studio work and sound editing alike.
McDSP Award-Winning Engineering
Developed with McDSP's Emmy Award-winning engineering, the NR800 HD v7 aims for a demanding balance: effective reduction and timbre preservation, delivering results suitable for modern mixes, broadcast deliverables, and sessions where every detail counts.

Questions frequently asked
Does McDSP NR800 HD v7 operate without latency?
The processing is performed in real time, with no internal latency, allowing its use in broadcast or live sound reinforcement.
Can it remove hiss from a vocal track?
The eight noise reduction bands target the frequency areas affected by hiss, ventilation noise, or room noise. The high-pass and low-pass filters concentrate the action on the useful frequency range. The overall range setting then adjusts the intensity of the reduction.
How to quickly set the noise reduction?
The Snap Gain and Snap Threshold functions provide a quick starting point for levels and thresholds, especially when processing multiple takes or scenes.
Are the NR800 HD v7's HPF and LPF filters used for noise reduction?
Before reduction, the HPF removes unnecessary low frequencies and the LPF limits out-of-band highs. This preparation reduces processing applied to the spectrum extremes and helps limit artifacts.
Is the NR800 HD compatible with macOS Sierra?
On macOS 10.12.x Sierra, the software may run but this version is not officially supported.
