Hi Umashankar,
With my "really really real" remark, I was poking a little fun, but not at =
you, and not at your microphone array, but rather at marketing schemes in g=
eneral. Like all the basic recorders out there using the adjective "profess=
ional." Of course "true three dimensional" is just a flashy way of implying=
 it a capability of producing a stereo recording. Whether the use of "true"=
 in that context is misleading or not will subjective to the individual use=
rs perspective.

I highly respect your work, and I apologize for contributing to this discus=
sion in a way that brought you some embarrassment.
