Hi Lindsay,
this indicates that I am getting "normal" results with the gear that I have.
Certainly comforting. I'll just keep on recording and keep on learning.
Many thanks,
Normand

I use an FR2-LE with a Telinga Pro6 Twin Sci in a parabola and get
similar levels (maybe up to -24)to you when recording crossbill
flight calls. Might occasionally get a bit more but certainly
nothing like -12db as a "normal" range ( unless a Winter Wren is
15ft away!).

the time around -45 to -30db. I'd like to adjust it at recording
time so that the peaks would be around -12db but I'm already setting
the volume control near the max. Surprisingly, when amplified with
Audacity by 20 to 24db, the background hiss is barely audible at
normal listening volume.
