It is highly directional as shotgun mics go. Which is really not all
that sharply directional.

It's big problem as far as using it with a parabola is that it's got
that long interference tube out front. With a telinga reflector the end
of the tube would probably have to stick out the back. And of course the
interference tube would not be doing much. So it would not be running as
designed.

A cardioid or omni would be more appropriate.
