Many of us are familiar with close-spaced multi-capsule arrays, thanks to T=
elinga. I believe the dishes use something like three capsules per channel,=
 and the Clip-Ons and Soundscape Microphones each use two capsules per chan=
nel. When they're close enough together whatever flanging effects there mig=
ht be are too far up to perceive.

Note that A-T has recently issued a high-end mic (5040) that uses four clos=
e-spaced electret capsules.
