As part of leaning into the human, I’ve been using open studio mics to capture small sounds and ambience on and off during recording. Recently I decided to get more serious about it, and after some research bought myself an SE BL8 boundary mic.

So today I’m reading up on the science behind boundary mics in the classic Crown application guide. This booklet is a fun bit of lore that I missed, and that a kind gearhead shared with me today. You can read it at https://coutant.org/pcc160/127089.pdf
