Anyone promising usable 5th order from such a system is either
ignorant or deliberately misleading potential customers. Typical

Depends on the distance between the capsules. In this case the
diameter is twice that of the Eigenmic, and the number of capsules
is doubled, so polar patterns will start to break down at around
6 to 7 kHz or so (assuming optimum capsules placement).

Let's hope they mean a S/N ratio 67 dB, which is a self noise level
of 27 dB :-)
