No, that frequency range is fine for ambient and nature sounds. The
significant limitation is its self-noise level specified at 20 dB
(they don't say whether that's weighted). That's good but not great.
The self-noise of the mic array would be audible in quiet natural
environments. It's output level isn't very hot, either, which makes
more demand on the specs of mic preamps to use with it.
