Hi Chris I've been using almost every prototype stage of Jack's mics since that first day he showed me a 3d printed array frame. I've used them in so many scenarios, I have 4x of them. Do you have any specific recordings you would like to hear? I'll provide them in A format and also upsampled Amb

Hi Chris, The 3D printing does have several advantages from a design point of view. I can make structures that would be impossible with traditional methods. I nickel coat the nylon SLS parts with very good shielding results. The nylon also doesn’t get as ‘cold’ as metal bodied mics so that and IP

He may well do! But I was intrigued by the use of 3D printing for what are always going to be very low sales numbers, and how efficient the electrostatic screening was likely to be. I also wondered about the pop screening efficiency too. Chris Woolf On 25/03/2022 12:55, Tim Cowlishaw wrote
