I'm pretty sure when I checked it out a few years ago it was using the
same mikes. Or ones with the same specs.
Ok if the sounds you wish are loud enough. From all 360 degrees.
Otherwise needs to be quieter mics.
For that kind of money it could be studded with MKH-20's.
I also agree with your comments on surround. And how new designs are
needed. If you are going to move from stereo to surround, you want the
quality of the experience to be better, it's a lot of hassle for a so-so
experience.
