boundary effects work with all sorts of microphones. the effect depends on =
how close the capsule is to the surface. an inch away is too far - you will=
 have comb filtering in the audible range.

I am thinking that replacing the internal capsules is one way of getting lo=
wer noise. I have experience only with the zoom H2n but replacing th origin=
al ten mm capsules=A0 with 4=A0 tsb 140 14 mm capsule made big difference.
