True Condenser OPA Microphones
Externally polarized condenser capsules paired with an OPA1642-based impedance converter, including single- and dual-diaphragm approaches and post-recording polar-pattern control.
Projects
Sound Sleuth projects start with a practical question, then usually turn into a microphone, a recording method, a 3D print, a circuit board — or all four. Full build instructions can be found on the Instructables website, where appropriate; this site provides the overview, context, listening and related technical work.

Accessible eight- and twelve-capsule spatial microphones developed for Ambisonic recording, immersive capture and experimentation with higher-order encoding.

Condenser microphones, Mid/Side designs and other recording tools that grew out of the same build-and-listen approach.
Wideband phantom-powered hydrophones and multichannel underwater arrays developed to move marine recordings beyond mono and stereo into immersive playback.
