Dear Adam, this is a really useful link. Thanks very much. Do you think a n=
on-solderer/could make up your 3 EM172 array? Do you have any pictures/furt=
her details?
Thanks for thisBest wishesPeter

Good guide here: https://avesrares.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/diy-parabola/
For a mic I'm using three of the EM172 capsules wired in parallel and using=
the simple P48 trick to run on phantom. It sounds very good and for a frac=
tion of the cost of a commercial one. #yiv9738449275 #yiv9738449275 -- #yi=
