[LAU] Ambisonics microphone for Linux

[Moshe Werner]

Hi there,

regarding quality of Zoom products, I can say that I used their lower end
series products (h4 & h5) for field recording, they are not great.
Lots of self noise...
Now I'm using SoundDevices lower end Mixpre. It is a great recorder.

Best of luck with your endeavors...
