Frogs and Insects

["pga7602" pga7602]

Hi all,

I want to upgrade my mic setup to be used for recording frogs and
insect sounds. My current setup is a Sony MZ-RH10 hi-md recorder with
a small sony emc-ds70p stereo mic. The setup works fine, but I am now
ready to get a more cleaner sound from my recordings.

I have narrowed my choices down to either a pair of Rhodes NT1As or a
pair of AT-3032. I would like some recommendations from users that
have used both setups.

I am aware that I will need to purchase a stereo mic adapter and a
portable phantom power unit.


I have considered the NT-4s, but read that they can cause sureal or
fake sense of space in the recording.

Please advise. Thanks.
