Re: [Sursound] More Capsules - More Self-Noise Or Less?

2023-11-08 Thread Rudy Chalupa
But isn't that only true if all the capsules are picking up the full signal? In the case of an Ambisonic mike, where the directional capsules are pointed in various directions, you won't get the full advantage. Cordially, Rudy ChalupaPleiades Audio + Electronics On Wednesday, November 8, 202

The Mixpre recorders had a similar issue with MS encoding when they first came out - it took a few revisions before that got sorted out. So it wouldn't surprise me that something similar is happening here. Cordially, Rudy ChalupaPleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Arth

signal in an MS configuration. If B format, you could dematrix to A, then proceed as above. In all cases, significant EQ will probably be needed. Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Tom Hall To: Surround Sound discussion group Sent: Thu, Jun

Note the equivalent input noise of 31dBA. It's going to take a fairly large array of these to get the noise to an acceptable level. Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Marc Lavallee To: Surround Sound discussion group Sent: Wed, A
