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

Direct by providing proprietary digital noise reduction algorithms. Sound Deck

The Digital Noise Reduction algorithm enhances speech applications by reducing

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