i have modified about 15 zoom H2s so far, and have bullt tetrahedral microphones that plug into the modified zoomz.the modification is quite simple really, just a way of attaching a five pin connector to the top of the zoom, so a tetrahedral mic with five pin connector can be plugged in, directly or with an extension cable. the zoom provides plug in power to the capsules, so no additional powering is needed. i have so far built this system with four microphone sizes. the smallest is wi th six mm cardioid capsules. the bestsounding i think is the one i made with 14 mm capsules.one size smaller is with 12 mm capsules similar to the core sound tetramic. i used the zoom's own 10 mm capsules for the next size. sound quality can be equalised along with calibration. the variation i hear is much more to do with frequency extension at high and low end, and noise. i have plans to build with larger capsules and external fets. but i suspect then i will have provide a higher supply voltage than the 2 volts provided by the zoom PIP umashankar
