Hi Tim, Indeed, SNR is poor at low frequencies for this sort of technique as it relies on the phase difference between the two capsules as produced by their separation. The separation can't be too large as once it gets over half a wavelength the phase starts wrapping around but this means that at l

>The mics are omnis It might be stating the obvious here but how would you get ANY directional information out of four OMNI mics close together? :-) Surely to get a fig-8 response you need two CARDIODS back to back (one of which is polarity reversed obviously). Mike Felton On 7 January 2013 23

Without more details, it hard to speculate about problems, but I'll note that subtracting the outputs of two omnis to get a fig-8 response will result in a frequency response that rises 6dB/octave with a 90 degree phase shift relative to the sum. Unless that is corrected, these signals are not sui

Hello, all I have designed an array of four microphones to get B-format signal. The coordinates of mics are mic1 (-d/2,0), mic2 (d/2,0), mic3 (0, d/2), mic4 (0,-d/2),and d is about 18mm.Every opposite pair can be composed into a first order differential array and get a pattern of figure 8. So th
