Ah - I did wonder if it might be the support, but couldn't tell from the restricted view I could get

I can see through the grill with the aid of my trusty LED keyring torch.
The front edges of these are now bevelled, unlike those in the earlier
versions, portable or otherwise - although they are still using the same
illustration in the 450 manual as is in the 350 manual, which shows the
earlier design.

The bevelled edge is on the support spider which is common to the ST350 and
much stronger than earlier ones.  This was my most heinious sin on the
Soundfield.  I strengthened the spider while at Calrec but could have done
more.  Mea maxima culpa.

The capsules are still the same except for Gold flashed diaphragms.

Anyone prepared to measure the electrical response of their ST450?  Any
capsule (actually the LEMO connector) to W and then to either X Y or Z.
  I'm planning a file processor to improve B format recordings made with
ST350s&  ST450s.

Email me if you are game and I can provide details depending on what gear
you've got.

As Richard already stated, the bevelled caps were already present in the
350.

There is two good hi-res pictures of an opened 350 at the bottom of this
page .
