Ha, I thought you talked about the A16…

Oh, no, I totally learned my lesson with the OOYH. *cough*

Does anyone know what number Smyth is at with shipping out pre-orders, I have been waiting for many years now for my pre-order?

 

[GeorgeA]

They haven’t shipped all A16 units to KickStarter backers yet. In other words, shipping to pre-orders is still outstanding.

Makes no sense to me, I paid more than KickStarters, and you can't use part shortage because of Covid any longer.

 

[GeorgeA]

Actually, it wasn’t a matter of who paid more. It was more about first come, first served scheduling. This approach wasn’t valid for those willing to pay the full asking price.

I can't wait

Congratulations!

A word of advice/caution... If you are even thinking about touching the microphones... Please put on the blue static strap. They are the weakest link in the chain.. And cost $140 to replace.

Congrats! If you don’t mind sharing, which of the following categories do you fall into: full paying customer, Kickstarter backer or pre-order customer? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Yeah, that is likely how I killed mine. They are fragile.

Wow, I’ve made a 10ish prirs, and often have forgot the blue strap, gotten tangled in the spaghetti cable mess, putting strain on the poor things. Am I just lucky? Will they loose quality and make an inferior prir or just die?

The recorded frequency response of one or both channels of the PRIR and or HPEQ are affected... It can be sometimes difficult to diagnose through audio playback.. But usually... A major imbalance in the center channel is a giveaway.

I sure wait to test your microphones is found in the 2.0 manual...

5.3.4.11 Listen to Mics on HPB page 38



But the most accurate way to ensure the microphones are recording properly and without imbalance... Is to create a PRIR without HRTF (microphones not in your ears). I usually tape the mics (side by side) to a pole/light stand... And place them in front of a speaker... Then I can capture the PRIR of one channel... Then examine its frequency response in REW. The impulse/frequency response of both microphone recordings should be (nearly) identical.

For me... It's a waste of time and energy to create a multi-channel PRIR without knowing if the microphones will be recording it properly... Unfortunately, I've learned this lesson the hard way.

Are you not a pre-order customer, just a brand new customer and paying full price?

Just a brand new customer paying full price. I was unaware of any kickstarter or preorder deals.
