Core Sound LLC is referenced by the soundfield microphone page and the list of microphone manufacturers page.

Core Sound LLC is only one of two manufacturers of soundfield-type microphones in the world and is one of only two manufacturers of binaural microphones for the professional audio world.

It is on a par in terms of importance to the audio field with many of the companies listed on the list of microphone manufacturers page, and more important than many. Those companies have Wikipedia entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Len Moskowitz (talk • contribs)

Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Please provide sources to establish the subject's notability. Of course, the need for sources goes beyond notability.

Recording Magazine's December 2006 issue said: ... but we may as well spoil the surprise and let you know right now about the hands-down cutest new product at the [AES] show: the Core Sound TetraMic. That photo isn't retouched -- it really is a four-element microphone for in-place surround recording that's a bit larger than a ball-point pen. There are four 12mm (roughly 1/2") cardioid electret condenser elements arranged in a tetrahedral pattern... This pocket-sized surround recording setup is one of many cool field-recording devices from Core Sound, which has a decades-long history of providing high-quality and very portable location recording solutions.

Also: It is notable that Core Sound LLC specializes in manufacturing microphones whose designs are based on psychoacoustic phenomenon (how the brain & ear together create spatial images). There are only a *very* small number of manufacturers who provide products of that kind.

It is very notable that Core Sound manufactures binaural and soundfield mics.

Binaural microphones

http://www.stereotimes.com/acc050101.shtml

The references you provide certainly show that the company exists, but that is not the issue. There is no assertion in the article of notability Please see WP:CORP.

If the assertion is that a certain product the company manufactures is the "hands-down cutest new product at the [AES] show" or that the company is the creator or (maybe) only manufacturer of binaural and soundfield mics, those assertions need to be in the article. (I still don't think that would do it.)

The question is not "what do they do?" it is more like "Why are they unique in an important way? Anyway, please put your specific assertions of notability in the article with the references. I'll change the tag to give you some time. --Evb-wiki 15:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your kind suggestions.

I've significantly fleshed out the notability sections of the article per the notability guidelines. I hope this will meet the needs for publication. If not, please let me know what you feel is still missing and I'll do my best to correct the omission.

One related point: the list of microphone manufacturers has more than a few manufacturers that are completely marginal in the microphone world. Lauten is barely known and has nothing of notability. Samson is another, importing generic Chinese microphones. MIPRO is a vitual unknown as is Nevaton.

I tagged a few assertion as needing a citation. To do so, add the source site like <ref>www.sample.com</ref> in place of the tags and add a "References" section containing {{reflist}} at the end of the article. Regarding the others companies you mention, (1) sometimes non-notable articles slip through the cracks, (2) MIPRO and Nevaton are both tagged as inadequate in some manner, and (3) Lauten, e.g., actually directs to an unrelated article. I guess we're only humans, huh? --Evb-wiki 17:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
