Thanks for the demo. It sounds good. Did you tried it outside as field recording ? It must be pretty good using it that way too. What is the price of it? It's not too difficult to make it I think.

Not hard to make, but small variations have huge effects. Look up PZM or Boundary microphone. You can make one with a couple condensers and a large stiff plate. Many people use the actual floor or wall as the plate, or a thick slab of polished tile as wide as they dare move around. Mount the mics FACING the plate, and experiment with feeler gauges spacing. Most seem to like a MM or so, or a credit-card thickness. The bass response correlates to the size of your plate. There are a few guides online.

PZM's are made to be used against a wall This might be some variation using a more localized plane. As a result it has zero of the advantages of an actual PZM/Boundary mic. The reflection planes are way too small for bass response, and the back isn't flat for actual boundary use. I can't even. Cool and very weird.
