I recently acquired a Dan Gibson parabolic dish. A capacitor was blown in =
the handle part of the mic and was replaced. I presently get some sound at=
the recorder input and the ear phones but it is very low level. I assume =
that the mic preamp is bad.
Does anyone know where it could be repaired?
Is it worth repairing or should I just use the dish with another mic?
I have mounted an Audio Technica ATR55 at the focal point and get an 8-10 d=
B gain. Is this about what I should expect? I have a Sennheiser K6/ME-66 =
shotgun mic. I assume that I could do much better by ordering on omni mic =
(ME-62) on the K6 system.
I would like to be able to use a stereo mic with the dish. Is it possible =
to use something like a Audio Technica PRO24CM with a dish? Would there be =
a better choice? I am using a Sony PCM-D50 for most of my recording.
Sould I be forgetting about all of the above and saving for a Telinga?
