###¨¨¨¨¨¨# well. it  has some very real compression ¨¨#¨¨¨##¨#
¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨## going on  so  close  vox  and other high ¨##¨¨#¨##¨
¨##¨¨¨¨#¨¨ volume things  are very  crisp and  with #¨#¨###¨#¨
#¨#¨¨¨##¨¨ kind  of low  noise.  but  when  there's ####¨¨###¨
###¨¨#¨#¨¨ more  of an ambience,  all you  hear  is ¨¨¨#¨#¨¨##
¨¨#¨####¨#          hiss and motor noise.           ¨¨####¨#¨¨

#¨¨#¨¨#¨¨# denoising techniques are simple. actual  ##¨¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨##¨##¨#¨ denoising for  the noise,  and  maybe an ¨#¨##¨##¨#
##¨##¨####            eq for the motor.             ###¨##¨##¨
