Hi,

THe Harman mems microphones presumably depend on their size, and shape, to make them directional. They are not "two omnis and some DSP" but "utilize an acoustical design to achieve directionality".

4mm wide is not too large, 22mm a bit more problematic. There seem to be some other components on what is presumably a PCB.

This makes it difficult to mount several in an array. Two, back to back, might make some sort of figure-8 and a first order ambisonic mic may be feasible, but beyond that ??

Ciao,

Dave

Yes of course, and as the sphere gets bigger the high frequency accuracy
gets worse.
If you look at the mems with the pcb they are on, they look pretty big. For those that are interested, Harmon now make cardiod mems. They won't release spec though, unless one puts in a massive order. I already enquired about this chicken and egg. Unfortunately no go, unless i buy thousands,
and sign NDA.

Interesting:

But those cardoid mems are not small...

And the cardiod mems are actually two omnis and some dsp !
