microphone design reading matter

[microx]

Can anyone point me toward some reading matter on microphone design,
e.g. avoiding resonance and the shape/size of the rear porting for dynamic cardioid mics.
Have "googled" without sucess.

Hi Microx,

There is extremely little documentation in areas like this - the best option would maybe be to search the patent archives:

http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html (American)

http://gb.espacenet.com/ (British)

Other than that, you may be lucky to find bits and pieces in the AES journals and papers.

This THE LAB might be the best place. The meta has a links and read the threads there is bits and pieces. I think there are a number of people here that are looking for the same info. It is kind of like an arceological dig. I think alot of what we are looking for has been done just need to find it.

Like Jakob has posted the patent som,etime have bits you can find.
