Can someone give a brief overview of the use of multiple capsule arrays. 
I am wondering at what point you reach a point of diminshing returns. 
What about the phase cancellations? Would circular arrays help or hinder 
the problem? What is the effect of capsule size on phase problems? Odd 
vs even numbers?

I recall experimenting with a four by four small speaker array called 
"Sweet Sixteen." I think it was from Popular Mechanics or some such 
magazine years ago. Would there be any advantage to making a "Sweet 
Sixteen" microphone array?
