First: Use only http://www.telinga.com
Otherwise you come to a site without the left margin.
There are many reasons why I have never encouraged a "tech-talk"
about Telinga and never spread around "spec's" of different kinds.
A Telinga is a parabolic microphone and there are no good comparisons
with other similar gears.
There is a continuos update all the time, and some data a certain day
will be old only a few weeks later.
Then, and this is difficult, - I would like to speak the truth, as
far as I understand it, which is difficult when so many others boost
all figures as much as they do nowadays.
Manufacturers who are exposed to a high modern competition on their
market, MUST reason the wrong way, that is: "Those data we get are
too poor, compared to others. Therefore we must have made poor measurements=
."
Within a margin, it is always possible to "measure" in a commercially
more suitable way, than right.
The "tech spec's" world is a sort of "meta-world", and I have
consciously tried to stay out of it. When I speak about Telinga, I
prefer to point out lightweight and flexibility and I say that the
output impedance is 200 Ohms and that the output voltage is "high
enough" for most recorder inputs.
For the ones who are really interested, and can understand what
spec's really mean, and evaluate spec's in a sensible way - such
people are much appreciated to call or mail me.
But I have been able to make a "good enough" frequency measurement,
and there is a picture at my site.
I have been on this list for quite some time now. I think the
discussion about mic's in general has made enormous progress. When I
started Telinga in 1982, "impedance-matching" was the word on every
recordists lips. I am so relieved that the discussion nowadays is
much broader than that.
I'm especially grateful to Rob, who continuously has come back to the
difficult relationship discussion about self-noise, sensitivity,
output voltage e.t.c - which is exactly the discussion needed for the
typical naturesoundrecordist.
I hope you find what you look for at my site, Andy! Otherwise, I will
try to answer all questions as good as I can.
Best wishes and good recording!
Klas.
