Re: sound wavelengh and parabola size

["Jim Morgan" <>]

Maybe I'll run more tests that include higher frequencies.  Maybe the gain
increases all the way up.

So if this is true, worrying about using a mic with a flat frequency
response is rather pointless if your using a parabola.

However as Walt points out it would tend to compensate for the attenuation
of higher frequencies as the distance to the source is increased.

I have noticed that some of my close recordings are as bit strident.
Probably because the increase in high frequency gain is not cancelled or
reduced by distance.
