all,

anyone here com in to contact with the Kimber (of cable fame) "IsoMike"
baffled mike set up?
http://www.kimber.com/IsoMike/Default.aspx

I know there is quite a few advocates for the Jecklin (and Schnider?) discs
around here - any comments, chairable experiences etc about this new commer
is welcome (I ask, because there seems to be a small buzz in the "HiEnd
HiFi" community, how ever little that accounts for..)

I met him at the Stereophile show a few weeks ago in NYC. I heard some
of the DSD master tapes he brought along and got a copy of the CD. I'm
working on a homebrew version of the system-I can't afford his $21,000
version!! I am making my "heart" 4' instead of 8' and using Behringer
ECM-8000 mikes instead of Neumann M-150's. Mine will cost less than
$500, and if it gets me most of the way there, I'll be happy. Craig

Thanks for the heads-up. Inspiration comes from all around us. Not
at all sure I could get away with using this to mic live performances
here (video archives), but the concept does give one fortitude.

An SASS might be cheaper, but definitely less fun.

That's a great attitude. Have fun with your experiments.

When you get it built, you should compare your 4' baffle with a more
conventional 1' or so square or circular baffle. The Kimber system is
essentially a tailored baffle Jeklin disk.

Ray Kimber was kind enough to send us a recording made with the
Iso-Mike.

I regularly record using Jecklin and Schenider Disks. The Iso-Mike
sounds much like other baffles. I found the azimuthal location cues at
left/right crossover (directly ahead) a bit ambiguous, but otherwise the
recordings sounded quite good.
