Well, we made it back at 4:00am, so we are all pretty tired.
The mic is working, but a few of the features did not get hooked up in time, but they all work. The front is so open that we did not want to demo it there, exactly for the reason that everyone would be yelling and spitting into it. So, the sound will be judged by the pros, and others soon enough.
What I can tell you is that we are ever closer. This mic has all new technology in the manner the patterns switch, and how the pads work...and no we will not reveal our IP on how it is done. If we do, people will steal it, but it is all Stephen's work. The custom FETS and Jensen transformer make it an amazing detailed microphone that I have never heard the likes of. Klaus Heyne, Dirk Brauner, Neumann, and all the others were by many times to ask questions.
Looks like March of 2005 for the first 50 units. We will be contacting those on the list soon to get things ready. Sorry we can't say more, but more will come soon.
