HOW TO BUILD A LESS THAN 99$ AMBISONIC MICROPHONE – Episode 2
Here is the Episode 2 of the ARKAMYS short stories. This second step consists in creating a mechanical design to have the ST microphones on a sphere
The ST MP34DT01 microphones must be positioned in a sphere.
They are located at 0°/ 90°/ 180°/ 270°.
We have created a small microphone mechanical design.
The challenges are :
- being able to plug the ST microphones without adding screw
- using the – as small as possible – space
- having enough space to add wires (connection between the microphones and the development board)
- being compatible with the standard microphone stands
The next steps are :
- Running in lab acoustical measurement of the mechanical design including the 4 microphones
- Developping a dedicated software to transform the 4 microphones RAW data into ambisonic B-FORMAT data
Don’t miss the next episode to know more about the next steps of the ambisonic microphone’s making-of.
Stay tuned!
