Re: [Sursound] Blue Ripple Sound & SN3D?
Happy New Year!
An update on this:
We *did* switch from FuMa to SN3D at the end of last year and have renamed
the TOA plugins so they are now the "O3A" plugins. The renaming is mainly to
help with migration from existing projects.
This turned into quite a major release in the end ("Version Two") and we're
just tying up the loose ends now. We took the opportunity to update all the
GUIs (no more wood panels!) and have added a whole new toolkit ("O3A View")
for work with film, particularly 360 video for Virtual Reality. There are
some (confusing) screenshots here:

Re: [Sursound] [allowed] brahma
Sorry to hear of the falling-out. I have had some issues with the build-quality of my Brahma, which was made by Embrace Video, but nevertheless it remains my 'go-to' mic for choral recording.

Re: [Sursound] [allowed] brahma
Good luck in your continued effekt. By the way, i have accuired one of your Tetra mic 3d shapeway for 14 mm capsules. I have not yet assembler it. I Wonder is there any software package and description on How to create calibration files for The mic? I will probably have The possibility to get temporary access to a anechoic room. In worst case i Will use the generic calibration from sennheiser :-) The mechanical size of The tetraeder is about right.

Re: [Sursound] [allowed] brahma
Don't call it tetramic. It will upset len Moskowitz. I use a process developed by Angelo Farina's team, using Matlab scripts. Initially, I was given permission only to use it, but not share it, but a few months ago, Angelo said I can forward the scripts to Marc Lavallee, who is modifying them to run on Octave. Octave is a free program, and these scripts will be released to public, so it should be possible for anyone who builds a tetrahedral microphone to calibrate it and generate filtermatrix files. These files can be used with VVEncode (purchased) or X-volver (free) to produce B format files. In the meantime, I am willing to create filtermatrix files for anyone who wants to do their own measurements. (Fons will also do it, but mostly he does it for Linux) You do not need an anechoic chamber. You need a space with the first reflection atleast 2.5 metres away. A room with a five meter high ceiling and dimensions of 7.5 meters by 5 meters will be adequate. You can use Angelo's inverse sine sweep. I will describe my process in detail if you wish, but I am very happy with the imaging I am getting with Brahma microphones. The tetrahedral structure printed by Shapeways is very accurate, and that helps too. Umashankar Don't use sennheiser's generic filters. Their capsules are also 14 mm, but they are spaced much further apart (mine are almost at the theoretical minimum). At the AES, the Sennheiser booth was next to Brahma, and many people compared the imaging of the two.
