Hi Conor, It was www.shapeways.com You can make your uploaded models available to others. If the mic proves to be useful I'll make the parts public so others can order them directly. Best, Hector On May 21, 2014 2:28 PM, "Conor Mulvey" wrote: > Hector, > > That's a great price for 3D printing

Hector, That's a great price for 3D printing in metal. What company did you use? Thanks, Conor On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 2:16 PM, Hector Centeno wrote: > Hi Dave, > > Yes, the metal frame was 3D printed. It costed about $28. > > Best, > > Hector > Dave Malham wrote: > > Good grief - you print

Hello Umashankar, Yes, they are all 10mm capsules. The bi-directional capsules are EM-183, probably the same as the Zoom H2n, and the omni is a EM-172. Best, Hector On Mon, May 5, 2014 at 9:33 PM, umashankar manthravadi < umasha...@hotmail.com> wrote: > dear hector > > what capsules did you

dear hector what capsules did you use? these look like 10 mm. Zoom h2n uses something similar for the s part of the ms microphone but I have not seen omnis. I like the 3d print. my own version uses six cardioid capsules, but I never completed it. umashankar > Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 13:40:

Bravo on the mic! I have played your file (as my set up is restricted to 4.0 horizontal mode, I have only matrixed channels W, X & Y). I find it difficult to know at what level to set the W channel, as what appears to be going on all around is (excuse me, no offence intended!) rather chaotic
