Re: Zoom capsule hacking
For your project I'm not sure going the Zoom way is the easiest. You find a
lot of easier builts in this group, and swapping can be done based on
standard XLR connectors (XLR3 or 5). This makes up for

Zoom capsule hacking
Newbie here, so sorry if I missed previous discussion on this topic. (Yes, it tried searching but didn¡¯t find anything¡)
I am working on a project to build a hand-held stereo sample

Re: 2nd order ambisonic
They mostly are. Check out several of the commercial ones for ideas.
Interestingly, 8 capsules is not quite 2nd order, in theory you need 9.
Whatever geometry you end up with. The Sparta Arrary2SH

Thank you, what is the geometric position of the 8 capsules ? are they still based on a tetrahedron ?

Re: SimpleP48 figure 8
Hi Casey,
Yes that's exactly what I did. I'm sure someone must have done it but couldn't find a reference anywhere. It's a very pleasing use of phantom power symmetry. I will match front facing

I assume this is what you did, but in case it's useful here's the fig8 I've been using <http://caseyconnor.org/pub/audio/electret8/SP48_fig8.png>. As others have said on this board, it's important

Re: SimpleP48 figure 8
I should add, as my last post was a bit confusing, that the capsules are wired with capsule 1+? to pin 2 and capsule 2+? to pin 3,? which gives the right bias.

Re: 2nd order ambisonic
You could easily extend this to 8 capsules You would need to redo the design for the capsule mounts I would probably go to 16mm capsules if I were to do that to keep them closer.

Re: 2nd order ambisonic
Jules devised the AmbiAlice for his Instructable so he can advise, but I suppose since his design uses the "Simple P48" circuit, I suppose you could use 8 conductor tube microphone cable, maybe? You

Thanks, Jules! Before ordering, I searched the Micbuilder Group on this topic and found a lot of useful information on capsule soldering. Many thanks!

Re: Bamboo housing for nature recordings
That is good solder. I use the same except water based flux.

Re: Bamboo housing for nature recordings
Many thanks for your advice!
For soldering I used a No-Clean Flux Core Solder, 63/37 with a melting point/range of 184 C (363 F). Do you think this is OK or would it be better to use a different

Re: Bamboo housing for nature recordings
There is also low temperature solder, that avoids themal stress.

yeah... with most electret capsules, you really have to avoid any kind of physical stress on those tiny solder-pads. It doesn't take much force at all to tear the metal pads off. For that thickness of
