Yes, you should! Then you also gain self-noise! (Have you read "Parabolic
microphones - reality, mono and stereo sound" at "whitepapers" at
telinga.com??)
In the "old analog days" this parabol response was a problem, as the
high-frequency gain could cause tape-distortion. Then you had to turn down
the gain of the recorder to avoid that risk, but then you got tape noise
instead.
