Hi! Can you put that in other words? I don't understand.

So what about the Acrocephalus palustris at my sound gallery? The 
shortest distance is probably about 3-4 meters!? It is MP3 and un-equalized.
On the other hand I agree with you. Parabols should at the best be 
used at distances over 15-20 meters. At shorter distances, other mic 
set-up's are better.
But my Acrocephalus palustris could never! have been recorded with a 
shot-gun. All the parabol gain was needed to put the traffic noise down.
