Very nice video & informative regarding setup & using within dedicated software. I, like several others I note, would love to know more about how you constructed your microphone? - it has achieved a wonderful result!
Thank you for your interest in it! I believe that the easiest way is probably to 3D print the shape of the microphone, but on my case I built it with several pieces of composite wood : thin layers for the body, and wood sticks for the octogonal structure connected together, I found after that some copper pipe that was exactly the size of the microphones, so I could just insert them inside the slices of pipe that I inserted in octogonal structure. So that’s why I believe a 3D printable version should be easier for this part. For connecting the four capsules on a common 5pin cable, I put all grounds together from the beginning ( I used 2 very thin 3 pin cables between capsules and microphone connector) and then 1 signal for each 4 other pins (number 2,3,4 and 5 following the same order in every steps). I should probably make an update of the video since I upgraded the system of connection between 5pin cable and recorder. Stay on ! :)
Merci pour le retour ! le chassis pour tenir les 4 capsules entre elles est en effet assez délicat à réaliser. C'est une forme d'octaèdre ( ou tétraèdre tronqué) en bâtonnets fins de bois coupés à la mesure et colés entre eux, avec des bagues de cuivres pour insérer directement les microphones. Je note la remarque ;)
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t use 3D printer, it is handmade. But the shape is basically a octahedron with circles on 4 sides to fit the capsules in.
Comment ça va, Fabien? Congratulations on the results you got from your device. It is very immersive! You mentioned the file sizes are quite large and I was wondering how big are the files comparatively with your other binaural device (the one with the silicon ears)?
Ola Daniel ! Hope you are fine too! Thanks for your interest in this content. The 5 min file I recorded with the ambisonic mic was like 350MB, so it can be heavy if you record long. I actually by mistake recorded the mix (so 2 more channels) so it should be a little lighter with the only 4 channels (240MB maybe). And for the binaural it is more about 100 MB in 24b 48 kHz. for the same time :)
Great Project! Will try it out with the Sound Devices MixPre6.

Super intéressant ! Une vidéo plus technique présentant la configuration des micros et le châssis serait géniale 👌Bravo en tout cas 😀

Thanks for sharing this incredible creation. Can you also share the tutorial so I can try myself? do you plan do make one to sell?
fabulous
Great work, would you share the 3d print file?
