Air Leak with the VPX-WR

Here is an example of "DND" at work. This air leak was recorded with the VPX-WR with a noisy compressor in the background. Listen to how the background noise is reduced and how the screaming leak sound dominates the signal.

Air Leak with the VPE-2000

This is the same leak as you heard above recorded with the VPE-2000. This unit uses a traditional heterodyne translation.
