Interesting product, in terms of portability, at least. They mention
a maximum separation of 14 inches between capsules, & it should be
noted that separating cardioid capsules from coincidence necessarily
introduces phase cancellation, & eventually, irrational imaging. The
separation inherent in the ORTF configuration, about 7 inches or
approximately that of the human head, is generally considered the
maximum before unacceptable imaging/phase issues take over. Something
to be aware of if you end up with this mic.
