Jack Reynolds has hand crafted a surround microphone that offers truly exceptional audio quality and noise performance…more transparent than any others I have heard so far.
— Mike Hatch - Floating Earth

I love my Reynolds A-Type 8, it’s extremely well made, super compact, comparatively low noise compared to other comparable ambisonics mics, and as you might expect being 2OA the detail of capture and reproduction is mega.
— Will Cohen - String and Tins

The Reynolds A-Type 4 is a great mic for field recording, I've used it in many situations from Red Deer to just general ambience recording of natural environments - it has survived all conditions from high winds, rain and snow.
Also jack kindly customised the 3D print so it would fit in a smaller rycote blimp... and also made a custom cable for the mix-pre6. Really recommend this mic!

I was looking for an ambisonic microphone for my film sound work and was very pleased to find the A-Type4 by Reynolds Microphones. The build quality is top notch and Jack’s customer service has been amazing. Highly recommend!
— Bill Mellows

I've owned a few Ambisonic mics and this has proven to be the best. With low self-noise, no RF, well-built - it has become my go-to field recording workhorse. Came with BBG, Windjammer, and a really nice substantial cable - in a quality flight case. I highly recommend this to someone that is interested in recording 2nd Order Ambisonics.
