Hi David, we'll be publishing a study comparing a number of ambisonic mics at AES Berlin next month. We had an Ambeo, TetraMic, Soundfield MKV, Zoom H2n and an Eigenmike, and we assessed them using an objective directional study, and a subjective listening test on low and high frequency timbre.

We didnt find any significant improvement in directional accuracy with that filter applied, and in my own personal experience, I've found the timbre of the Ambeo to be far, far better without it.
