I was out walking, and letting my mind wander, and I was thinking about a circular microphone array, with playback through a circular speaker array. I was hoping to create a more 'purist' recording technique, something to emulate a true 'point source' for pickup and playback. Someone must have tried this at sometime?
I searched around, and there is some robotics research on circular microphone arrays, which is kind of similar. I think I might try to take six modified electret capsuls (per Linkwitz Lab), mounted around a 6" tube, and then build a speaker with 6 full range drivers mounted around the circumference, just to see what happens. I know I've got to build amps, gainclones are easy. I have the computer to record 6 channels...
Has anyone seen anything like this?
