We have a ECMDS70P, use it for recording meetings and such like. It's a
fairly noisy mic for any kind of nature recording.
These mic designs are not really one-point, but two mics with a small
separation. That separation is fixed, so it would be hit or miss if it
was the right separation to use with a particular reflector.
Two other sony stereo mics to consider would be the ECM-MS907 or
ECM-MS957. The ECM-MS957 is a much better mic than the other one. Though
these are not low noise mics. They have a M/S configuration internally,
which could be lined up with the center axis of a parabola.
Once I left my tie tac mic equipped homemade behind for the Telinga,
it's hard to come up with something as good or better. Lang's stereo
parabola with the MKH is probably at least as good, but that's a very
expensive setup.
