Hello recordists,
Recently retired and a newbie to nature recording and this group, I've
read most of the posts all the way back to day 1, amazed at the wealth
of expertise and experience therein. However, I was unable to find any
discussion about recommended starter equipment. Can anyone offer some
advice for acquiring a basic but good quality kit comprising parabolic
mic and recorder, primarily for capturing bird calls in the Pacific
Northwest? My budget is in the region of $1,000 but possibly more if
that is too low for acceptable quality. I have a somewhat technical
background and can understand most of the message threads I have
followed but get a bit lost among the equipment choices available,
particularly in trade-offs between preamp, phantom voltage and XLR
considerations.
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm really looking forward to this
new adventure.
