Welcome Lew. You will love the Sennheiser mic.
Adding a Jecklin disc or a SASS to the omnis will give you a better sounding
stereo/binaural field.
Welcome again,

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Introduction
Hi! My name is Lew Proudfoot, and I live in Biloxi,
Mississippi. Just got interested in nature recording, starting with
birds, and now cicadas and frogs. I live on a bayou, and it is VERY
lively.
I started out with a simple mike into my MP3 recorder, very convenient, but
limited in quality and length of time. I switched to a big ear mike, which
was great so long as I put a high pass filter to cut off below 1500Hz!
Finally I went big time:
I bought a Marantz digital recorder, with a Sennheiser boom
mike. I am going to order two omnis, to make stereo recordings,
especially of bird conversations. It is EXTREMELY difficult to sort
out a mono recording to make sense of two birds at once. Any work
done with time difference of arrival (TDOA) analysis in omni
mikes?
I am a systems engineer/program manager by trade, with an
engineering degree from Caltech. So I'm pretty technical in some things,
but just a beginner in bioacoustics. I am having a blast,
though!!!!
Lew
