I have been lurking in this forum for some time but I
always felt that I was way out of my league.
I have been trying to entice people into the nature
recording hobby with advice on cheap,home made
recording gear. In fact I feel my parabolic plans are
the father of Walt's homemade rig.

The recent discussion of stero recording stimulated me
to look into the cheap approach to stereo recording.
The kind that a high school student doing a science
project might be able to afford.
So I did my usual thing. I went down to the local
Radio Shack and wandered around. I came upon a product
called Stereo Clip-on Microphone. (33-3028)

It is two electrect capsules connected to an 1/8in
stereo plug that plugs into a controller that contains
a battery and outputs two mono 1/8 in plugs. My guess
was that the controller put out phantom power to the
two electrets. I plunked down $30 and took the
microphone home and plugged the stereo plug into my
Sony MZ-R70 MD and it knocked my socks off. I now plan
to mount it into my homemade parabola and start
experimenting with stero.
Does anybody have experience with this microphone.
