The timing issue between the microphones doesn't surprise me. Multi channel soundcards require a single ADC that processes all of the channels in unison (same for the DAC).

This is also why you can't just plug four stereo cards into a PC and expect it to make an 8-channel system.

Wow.

I wonder how many other cool-ass projects like this are going on that we have no idea about.

Or the pages that give tantalising hints about a project, but there doesn't seem to be a write-up anywhere.

It's not between the microphones on a cell, but between the cells themselves - i screwed up on the sync logic somewhere.

Huh, I always sorta wondered about this. Thanks for clearing it up!
