Raw.

<<And based on what?>>

Based on the fact that we are listening to a product demonstration, rather =
than to an aesthetic experience. Truth in advertising demands that the prod=
uct be depicted as it truly sounds. Any subsequent 'improving' of the sound=

microphone, we must hear only the output of the mic with no further manipul=
