Wow! Are all the generations of luthiers working with woods, tops, bracing, etc., being suddenly upstaged by an inexpensive plastic object? This oughta make 'em all feel good.
I just installed the O-Port on my Ovation Acoustic/Electric guitar. It's not a perfect fit for two reasons: the electronics inside the guitar and the fact that my guitar has the cut-away style body. Both of these things slightly distort the shape of the O-Port. Fortunately, it fits well enough to leave it in. The sound is definitely improved, both in volume and in bass response. Be forewarned that the O-Port may or may not work for you.
I have guitars but they are shallow body guitars. What is the height of the o port as these guitars only have between 3.5" to 3.75" to top edge of soundhole?
Thats like saying I walked through a field and noticed there were these burr seeds clinging to my pants so I went to my home lab and examined how these fibers adhered to my pants fibers so now I should invent velcro. Wait hasn't this already been done?!
O Port is different only because of the material its made from for installation and flanged but in tjheory it lowers the helmholz frequency of the guitar to accomplish same result.

This is no new invention. The Spanish invented this 200 years ago, it was called a Tornavoz. They are on old guitars... nothing new. just a different material
So, its good to record, but, its not natural, as the organic guitar sound.

It sounds great, but does it interfere with a humidifier placed in the sound hole?

you can extend it resulting in a lower frequency if the boom is too high
