[sdiy] DIY for Microphones

[Terry Shultz]

Hi All,

Again all for the final thread.

http://recordinghacks.com <http://recordinghacks.com/>

I am looking to build a 16 channel Microphone array in a spherical shape for a Virtual Reality project.

I just thought some of you would enjoy the diversion a bit.

I promise not to further Hi-jack the site.

best regards,

Terry
