Eight beautiful quiet capsules, balanced electronics, super high quality cable made in Worthing by LEMO Connectors, shockmount and custom windshielding made in Stroud by Rycote - all packaged in a compact flightcase. Each mic is hand-built in Hackney, East London.

The only thing missing from this picture is the state of the art A-Format to B-Format encoder plugin, custom built for Reynolds Microphones by the amazing team at atmoky.

The A-Type 8 is a hybrid second order A-Format microphone array, designed to be tough and rugged for field use. It’s robustly shielded against interference, while sounding natural and clear with a low noise floor and high sensitivity.

Perfect for 360VR, quiet immersive ambiences and much more.

This is the culmination of many years of prototyping with help from Axel Drioli of Sounding Wild, among others and we are very proud to launch this new product.

Update, October 2026: Reynolds cables are now made in house by Jack Reynolds.

Prototyping with Acrylic Spheres and Electret Capsules

Prototyping with Acrylic Spheres and Electret Capsules

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.
