I posted almost word for word the same announcement a week or two back.
No one responded then, so probably good for someone else to remind folks.
I'm not so sure that they are doing testing, however. On the ME67 they
have the odd figures for sensitivity and self noise. Which makes me
think they are just copying manufacturers specs.
It is nice that they have gotten the polar graphs more readable. And
having one location to go to helps.
Don't neglect the library section. A bunch of interesting articles.
