Dr. Anderson - Thank you for the note.
I thought it might provide the excuse for yet another "black box" or "black instrument" to explore. How did Roger Moore as (James Bond) put it "A View To A Kill", to Stacy Sutton - "I've been know to dabble." https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/2339d932-ee18-40f5-9122-9aa403cee207 This is a picture of a modified Zoom H2 - that I slapped together with the help of a friend's 3 D printed capsule mount. (attached) I recorded a lot of rehearsals of my chorus - the WAshington Men's Camerata, with a variety of microphone/recorder positions. I've been working to get a Brahma microphone calibrated, and have had this USB device, for while, but not a chance yet to work with it as much as possible. http://yun.twirlingvr.com/index.php/home/Lite/lite-en.html I have had success with a long USB cable - 20 feet. I'm sure the designers had cell phones in mind, not PCs. I'm disappointed in that software updates have stagnated. I like the "point of shoot" characterization of these beasts, but when I think of what was useable signal-to-noise in my acoustical measurements in the 80s, 30 to 35 dB is sufficient to get some real numbers. I can't navigate their website sufficiently to see if there has been some thought on acoustical software. I'm surprised of these companies, would take a look at something like this - and develop an GUI interface https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/7ea0/bbe0974d2963897d5567c7af2c8ecda97df5.pdf Jim M. > Hello Jim, > I've recently received the one ambiMIK-1 > <https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/ambimik-1> I > ordered.
