Microphone arrays usually mean you need well-defined or at

least repeatable and stable gain settings. This is quite

problematic with the ADA8000.
Also if you build them into a portable rack case make

sure you leave plently of open space between them. Some

of my collegues here put four ADA8000 on top of each

other in 6U rack - just 1U space at the top and bottom.

Three of them were fried. You only know when the damage

is done.
