That's really interesting. I've always liked the sound of the MHK800 and this makes it even more attractive.

I've been wanting a Soundfield or a Josephson 7 series for thier adjustable patterns. I don't always know a hall's acoustics. And some events have complex setups, i.e. orchestras with choirs, and with different types and size ensembles sharing the stage at different times during a program. The ability to zoom in or out, to capture more or less hall, side, audience, etc, is a dream tool that should help location recordists deliver more consistent results in spite of uncontrollable variables by moving those decisions into post production.
