Hi Kevin,
Baffled arrays, including the Jecklin disk, are definitely appropriate for =
nature recording. I have found that a baffle can establish accurate left t=
o right imaging independent of chosen angle between axes or polar pattern o=
f the microphone capsules. Such flexibility allows for explorations of a v=
ariety of interesting perspectives of the natural soundscape. The basic Je=
cklin disk design is certainly elegant where function meets simplicity. =
I notice Jecklin recently published an update that more than doubles the i=
deal spacing between capsules, the original was 16.5 cm, but now it is 36 c=
m. That seems quite a big shift. It would be interesting to hear the diff=
erence.
