Since Meridian touts this as being unique to their product line, I'd guess Outlaw would have to pay for the rights to use it, adding still more to the cost. And that's if Meridian would even consider it.


For the record, Meridian did not invent and does NOT own this technology. Instead Meridian is a licensee of Ambisonics:

The ownership and trademark are acknowledged by Meridian in every product manual. For example:

There is also a semi-pro implementation:

We have heard this system and it is indeed very impressive. However, time to market for us is critical and due to software issues we are a bit behind schedule. Adding this in at this time will tend to slow down the process and there is also the MIPS issue to contend with

Going forward, this is something to think about for future implementations.
