Merry Christmas from Reynolds Microphones!

Axel Drioli of Sounding Wild explaining how he uses Reynolds Microphones to record the sounds of nature.

I’ve been back in the lab this week, doing some more hands-on prototyping — one of my favourite parts of the process.

This time, I’ve been working with 60mm acrylic spheres and fitting them with three 6mm electret condenser capsules. These little capsules have a surprisingly full frequency response — a true 20Hz to 20kHz — which makes them great for capturing detailed, natural sound in a compact form.

Happy New Year! I’ve been starting 2025 in the best possible way — by diving into a new spherical mic design I’ve had on my desk during the Christmas break.
