I’d like to point out that I am the inventor of the second order microphone array called by Core-Sound the Octomic. I published the design six years ago at the 133rd AES Convention in preprint 8728. I purposefully did not patent the invention to allow entrepreneurs to use the design. But I would like a little bit of credit! I realize that Core Sound put in significant effort in making their product.
I made the microphone utilize only eight channels because I only can record eight channels.

A resounding "me too" to Stefan's question about the matrix, since you're one channel short :) Looking at the geometry, I guess you sacrificed the second-order rotationally symmetric component (FuMa R or ACN 08), which seems to be a good choice to me. What's that disclaimer about third-party PPAs? I mean, your PPA seems to be an integral part of the mic, given that it produces unbalanced signals. Is there any other magic going on there? I wonder if you can get ZOOM to include an octomic firmware in the F8 eventually, as Sennheiser did with their Ambeo mic, that one's mighty handy. (Not that I'm holding my breath, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some exclusive deals at play...) Can I assume that there is an updated version of TetraProc for the followers of the penguin? And looking at the shop, I don't see the Rycote lyre listed yet - is it a generic one that can be had from them, or something custom-made and not quite ready yet? I'm trying to come up with a good business case to order one asap, and since I'm good at fooling myself, it might just happen :-D All best, Jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Tuinbouwstraat 180, 1097 ZB Amsterdam, Nederland Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio), Tonmeister VDT http://stackingdwarves.net _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
