Samson’s Sound Deck computer software expands the operation of the Go Mic

Direct by providing proprietary digital noise reduction algorithms. Sound Deck

software works with Windows and Mac OSX operating systems and can be down-

The Digital Noise Reduction algorithm enhances speech applications by reducing

ambient noise in your environment such as computer fans and air conditioners.

put, providing cleaner audio for speech recognition, videoconferencing, gaming,

and voice over internet communication.
