The saga continues - the Samson Zoom H4n
After having pointed out the complete neglect of theoretical considerations and empirical observations with regards to the relationship between intra-microphone- and recording-angle in my theoretical appraisal of the Samson Zoom H2 I find the Samson Zoom H4n:
"The mics also adjust for variable recording patterns at either 90° or 120°. Our unique design lets you rotate each mic capsule from 90° (standard) to 120° (wide-angle) stereo for the ultimate versatility in any recording situation." [Link]
The surprises don't end here. Samson states that their "Unique X/Y mic design captures perfect stereo images." X/Y was invented in the 1930's by Alan Dower Blumlein. And who knows what the image labeled as "Conventional Stereo Mic" pertains to. It might be ORTF (2 cardioid capsules, facing +-55° off axis at an intra-capsule distance of 17 cm) but a more accurate specification would have been interesting.
