I am in the process of acquiring a Surround Mic. Ideally with the Ambisonic technology. Has anyone ever used the Core Sound Tetramic and if so, could you provide a evaluation. Thank you.
if you can live with flimsy connectors and four separate phantom power adapters, its price/performance ratio is hard to beat. for me, it's too noisy for soft nature ambience recordings or very soft music in the far field, but for everything else it's great.
i prefer its unequalised sound over that of the ST450, which costs about five times as much. the st450 however is a lot more rugged and slightly quieter.
about 2 years ago, i was able to get an st450 prototype for evaluation and ran it against a tetramic: http://stackingdwarves.net/download/TetraMic_vs_ST450/
since then, i have finally acquired an st450 for critical main microphone purposes, but the tetramic remains a valuable addition to my toolbox.
you can check out the resurrected ambisonia.com for a number of tetramic recordings.
