Which, of course, is why they did away with the chemistry sets.

I remember trying to use PZM's when they first become popular for theater. Turned out not so good, as it amplified every footstep and thump on the stage. Since there's usually half a dozen thumps sitting around your typical conference table, PZM's might be contra-indicated.

Yep, you got it. The acoustic space is key. If it can be controlled.

As a side note. I believe many artifacts can be controlled for or eliminated in the electronics. Price range may be out of his league. Prices to correct a room can also quickly get out of hand.

As somebody else says, though, do experiments (test, test, test). A one foot movement of the mic in any particular direction can make audible improvements.

So, speak softly and carry a big stick?

So "alpha male" rates a "Civility really is just a facade". What rating do you give the trolls in this instance?

(AC, you're doing it wrong)

Hah! Good one.

Well, it's a first step. Industry can take it from there if they want, and adapt the experiment to their particular situations.

xkcd has a good strip where zombie Feynman extolls the virtues of Mythbusters, stating that experimentation is at the core of science. And I notice in astronomy various projects are still confirming various parts of Relativity, even ones that have been proven before in different circumstances.

^^^ mod up. This is a good summary of what actually happened.

^^^ Ok, here's the definition people. Mod this up so the arguments can stop over what it is.

Shh. Don't say "rewrite". Managers heard that was a dirty word. That's why we give them a vague, important sounding "methodology" called "refactoring".

Refactoring is more than changing names.

Bingo!
