microphone pattern q: 1/2 of figure 8 VS. cardioid

[quote author="Tim Campbell"]There's a lot of great info in this thread. Are any of you planning on building one of these type capsules?

Though the idea is good, this design could be a nightmare to get to function properly in a real capsule.[/quote]

Tim,

I would, especially that I am getting a CNC rotary table. The problem is at the moment I don't see how potentially to make it work in fig8, or overcome a problem with diaphragm tension in omni. That's where the resonator comes to work. BTW, the MK6 goes only to 16KHz.

Minimally that the holes must rise in diameter linearly with distance
from capsule middlepoint.
For design can be useful classic M8 (Ne*mann)., or all that
basic old group (M7 (cardioid), M8(fig. eight), ???(?M50? M5? /I am too lazy to look to Neumann prod info/ omni). I think, the all group can be done in one capsule.
