I was lucky enough to visit to the Peruvian Jungle last month staying at
Explorers Inn on the edge of the Tambopata river.
My first experience of jungle - wow! I just wish we'd had longer.
I've put a file - "predawn.mp3" in the Groups file page on the Yahoo
website.
This was made using my Sony PCM-D50 plus a pair of Telinga EM23's
(Thanks Klas for getting them out to me in time!).
This was taken about one hour before sunrise, with the mics about a
metre apart.
There had been a storm the previous evening - so lots of drips and
creaks from the timber.
I can't tell you what was making the sounds - any help greatfully
received - what amazes me is looking at the spectral view of what I
recorded there and realising what was out there that I can't hear.
The constant sounds of insects was just incredible.
Klas had promised me a quiet pair of EM23's - they seem as quiet as the
ME66 I also had with me.
Sounds as recorded - no tweaks. The MP3 has lost the extension of the
19500 hz sounds up to nearly 21000 hz
On the subject of high frequencies - I recorded bats into the 40K hz
with the same mics whilst experimenting before the trip.
Hope this helps with the current debate on small recorders - I found
mine great to use.
