I;ve a suspicion that a Soundfield mic wouldn't behave well in such a weirdly reactive environment - i seem to remember chatting with Angelo Farina about this some years ago - anyone shed light on that? Dr Peter Lennox

Hi, Maybe I can do that. I have a Soundfield ST450 with a laptop+RME. If there is a way I can bring a Genelec to do sweep, otherwise balloons. I live near Rome, one hour away from gran sasso. Saluti.
