Wideband at "bird" frequencies. It still gives a stereo image at voice
frequencies.
A positive reaction! I've mentioned my Brinibox design several times
in the past and published the test recordings.
I've now written up the Brinibox in draft form:

I don't want anyone to patent the idea, if indeed it can be patented,
but would like to keep the Brinibox design in the public domain. I see
it as a good entry level project for newbies and it could develop to
be a serious rig.
The mics I used are similar to:

I've also included an account of the "barrier effect" and why I can
measure a 12dB lift with the Brinibox.
All comments are welcome.
