Hi. Is not less expensive than the Tetramic, but you can exchange capsules, so an hyper cardioid option is rounding my mind… it will cost near $1.500 with capsules. http://www.oktava-shop.com/index.php/cat/c9_Capsules-Capsules.html Too tempting. On Oct 5, 2013, at 2:00 PM, John Abram wrote: >

I can´t find if its output is B-Format. Interesting as you may exchange capsules. On Oct 5, 2013, at 12:56 PM, Dan Andrews wrote: > I stumbled across this the other day, It looks like it could be an > affordable way to get into b-format recording at last. > http://www.oktava-shop.com/product_in
