"cheap", but the end result is pretty good.
Imagine the Zoom H3, ready to use, but with
complete specs and schematics, a calibration
file and a documented calibration procedure, for
$100 more. Ir would be a commercial success.
In my view it is a question of taking the
purchaser seriously and treating him/her with
respect. If you buy loudspeakers, a pair of
headphones, amplifiers, A/D-D/A convertors, an
analog turntable, a pickup cartridge -- or
anything for home audio that is intended to be of
high quality -- you can read full specifications before you buy.
I see no reason why these should not be a part of
the product offering in the case of a surround
microphone. It is not a question of giving away trade secrets.
And I dont think their addition would justify an additional cost of /$100
