Microphone arrays usually mean you need well-defined or at least repeatable and stable gain settings. This is quite problematic with the ADA8000. Also if you build them into a portable rack case make sure you leave plently of open space between them. Some of my collegues here put four ADA8000 on top of each other in 6U rack - just 1U space at the top and bottom. Three of them were fried. You only know when the damage is done. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
