Hi Curt,
Yes indeed. I cut apart a wooden bowl and reassembled it to approximate SASS
characteristics except less angle between mic axes and narrower front to the
nose piece. The resulting sculpture looks pretty freaky, almost as freaky as
that coyote reverb. My idea was that a curved surface to the boundary plane may
allow some of the surface to be oriented directly forward while still
maintaining some boundary effect out to 90 degrees, and maybe it would create a
natural transition to the rear. Rob's boundary mic group and blog have been
very helpful for examining the acoustical behavior of the SASS design and
coming up with "what if" ideas to apply to DIY versions. I will soon be
submitting localization test results and other information about my array to
the blog.
