TestRig.scad de02365217 add a parameter to the capsule module so that we can make the slot in the mount narrower for a tighter fit, test rig: first test prints of the parts, tweak tolerances so that all pieces fit together, I need to adjust the length of the stalk and the size of the adapter so that the stalk does not move and the skirt is longer so that it grabs better the mount cylinder - the concept works fine and the stop for 0 and 90 degrees works as intended 10 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_EM182.scad 9be86c043e remove TinySpHEAR code (four capsule microphone) for old shock mount (internal ring, external ring and connecting rods), add ridges and channels to guide rubber bands in internal ring, connect internal ring columns with walls so they cannot bend, add parameters for new shock mount, redo rendering code for the different parts, update EM182 and EM200 versions of the microphone to render the new shock mount 9 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_EM200.scad 9be86c043e remove TinySpHEAR code (four capsule microphone) for old shock mount (internal ring, external ring and connecting rods), add ridges and channels to guide rubber bands in internal ring, connect internal ring columns with walls so they cannot bend, add parameters for new shock mount, redo rendering code for the different parts, update EM182 and EM200 versions of the microphone to render the new shock mount 9 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_H2N_EM200.scad e4f117f019 split H2N EM200 rendering to a separate file (like for other microphones), change rendering of the body of the H2N array so that we can mount a windscreen on it (leave old stuff as _no_ws modules for now), make the windscreen the same as for the SpHEAR EM200 standalone microphone 9 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_H2N_common.scad 4357306503 add upper flare and stalk to new H2N bridge code, add locking screw to one of the columns of the H2N base 9 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_common.scad f87c86d4b8 add small ridge to capsule holders, make mount to stand right height (having problems printing the taller one), add experimental code for octathingy capsule connection legs when elevation of capsules is the right one 8 vuotta sitten
TinySpHEAR_mount_pcb.scad 8bb538dd21 tinysphear: the flare to the bottom connector is created upside down with respect to the flare to the capsules so the screw rotation has to be reversed, otherwise the screw holes do not match with the body 8 vuotta sitten
TinySphEAR.scad 3f6a270667 really push changes to TinySpHEAR_common.scad, TinySpHEAR_mount_pcb.scad and TinySphEAR.scad 10 vuotta sitten
db25.scad 0867c40109 Octathingy: add new bottom flare to single DB25 connector, first try at new design for the shock mount 9 vuotta sitten
threads.scad 362edf83c1 h2n: wind screen support with three rings, add code for splitting the microphone stalk and capsule array mount from the bridge so that the capsule array can be separated from the the recorder body without making the whole system too big - includes threads for 8 pin mini-XLR connectors that couple the bridge to the stalk and array 9 vuotta sitten

The *SpHEAR Project

The *SpHEAR (Spherical Harmonics Ear) Project is a collection of 3D models and ssociated code for building, testing and calibrating full surround Ambisonics microphones. All 3D models are written in Openscad with the code licensed under the GPL 3+ license (GNU Public License version 3 or higher), and the 3D models licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license.

The 3D models are almost completely parametric and are designed to be able to be printed on low cost widely available 3D printers (at CCRMA we use an Ultimaker 2 Extended Plus printer, using PLA material). The design is modular and tries to avoid using overhangs and support structures. That is why each microphone assembly is made of a number of independently printed capsule holders interconnected by legs that interlock and hold the structure together. The capsule holders and the mount are glued together to create a 3D structure that securely holds all microphone capsules. A mount that can be clipped into a standard microphone stand is part of the design.

About building microphones

Successfully printing a microphone assembly is only the first step in a long and complicated process. This also includes finding and buying the required microphone capsules, assembling the electronics (requires precision skill with the soldering iron) and finally calibrating the multi-capsule microphone to get the best performance out of it (you will need at least a single driver sound source and a calibrated microphone).

The whole process is not easy and requires knowledge of acoustics and electronics, plus a healthy dose of patience and the ability to perform tasks with precision and care. This repository will eventually include more detailed instructions, electronic schematics, suggested and tested parts and software and procedures for calibrating and measuring the microphone, including models for test and calibration rigs.

3D models

The 3D models currently include the TinySpHEAR, a four capsule first order Ambisonics microphone, the Octathingy, an eight capsule second order design by Eric Benjamin and Aaron Heller and preliminary designs for 12 and 20 capsule designs (the BigSpHEAR_12 and BigSpHEAR_20 models). The models will be expanded as testing proceeds.

  • TinySpHEAR: four capsule first order microphone with simple stand mount

    • TinySpHEAR Zapnspark: four capsule first order microphone with four Zapnspark phantom power interfaces and shock mount

  • [Octathingy](): eight capsule microphone (proof of concept so far)

  • [BigSpHEAR_12 / BigSpHEAR_20](): 12 and 20 capsule designs (proof of concept)

Electronics

The pcb/zapnspark directory contains the Kicad electrical circuit and printed circuit board design for the Zapnspark phantom power interface. The current printed circuit board design fits into four slots carved inside the body of the TinySpHEAR plus Zapnspark model. Everything is dimensioned for the sizes of the components specified in the parts list, any changes (specially the diameter of the electrolytic capacitors) would need to be taken into account by changing appropriate model parameters.

Calibration

The calibration/src directory contains the Octave files for the current calibration software. The CALIBRATION.md file in there has a very brief description of usage, but currently is out of date with the current source code. Look into the individual files for more guidance. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
