Ambisonic Microphone

After a full on week and a hectic week end it was good to finally sit by the Stour under a huge Oak tree and relax for a while. I was also looking forward to testing out the new Reynolds A-Type 4 ambisonic microphone that I had received. Jack hand builds his microphones and they are thoroughly tested in the field by Axel Drioli as he chases migratory birds across Europe and Africa. Jack had sent me one to test earlier in the year and after getting used to its unique character (I’ve been using DPA 4060’s since for nearly ten years) I realised it was going to be just what I needed for this project. I’m a keen supporter of small and independent businesses too so it was a good match all round. Jack kindly housed it in a Rycote Windjammer for me as I like to go out in all weathers, and indeed might have to for the Constable Ambisonic project. I’ll have a listen beck to the recording and hopefully share one with you this week. YouTube Short below X
