I for one would love to see these photos Lang.  I am thinking of trying to
adapt my mkh 40/30 rig to use in the parabola and have a few ideas already
of how to do it but would love to learn from anyone's prior experience.

TIA

Rich:

I'll try photographing my setup next week and then posting photos of the
parts-and-pieces on my website.

I did copy Klas's setup, using a plastic boundary and two Shure foam
windscreens trimmed and glued to the boundary to hold the two mikes,
pointing forward and separated by the boundary.

You'll have to look at the photos to get the gist of what I did. I enlarged
the hole in the Telinga parabola and used plastic PVC pipe fittings to
attach the mikes to the parabola.

Again, you'll have to look at pics. It's too difficult to describe with
words. I'll try to get to it next week sometime.

In any event, the results sound really nice. Very low noise stereo parabolic
recordings, much like Klas's stereo setup, but at least 6 db quieter.

Lang, you have given us so much to work with in the past, but I again
have a request.
Would you be willing to share with us on what your stereo
configuration is with the MKH-20's and a dish. Do you also run a
barrier like the Telinga? Is it a PCC configuration or a PZM?  Did
you also choose a plexiglass barrier if you used one.  Is there a
need for it to be buffered as the Telinga is with foam?  I will be
setting my 32" dish for stereo for the spring but would love to avoid
the pitfalls that you already fell through.
