Re: Spherical Quad Mics for Field Recording?

What you mention about the results of ambeo mics being coincident and there=
fore fairly flat sounding to someone used to spaced arrays is why I'm tryin=
g to come up with another solution. On the face of it an ambeo should be id=
eal for what I want, but I haven't been all that impressed with the results=
 when I listen to them on headphones. =0D

 I'm probably asking for trouble, trying to use sum/diff methods on what am=
ounts to a spaced baffled set of microphones, but I might give it a try jus=
t to see what I can get. I just figured this was going to be something that=
 someone had tried and discarded back in the mists of time, and that's why =
I'm not finding anything about it in the literature or on Google. (I'm imag=
ining Blumlein listening to a spherical quad mic and thinking, "Never mind.=
 I'll stick with figure-eights.")=0D
