Hello all;
It's been good to see all your thoughts about parabolas and specially recor=
der noises.
But, apart from some advice about not starting with a parabola (thanks, and=
I must say here I am not that newbie), no one has answered the rest of my =
questions... which were more important.
I am not persuading you to answer, but one can know there are experts here =
because of their answers, and I am sure they would easily reply with a few =
words to my original questions, which had nothing to do with recorder noise=
... :)
Thanks !

mics here?

> Is it possible to use the parabola approach with shotgun mics like mine (=
sennh mkh 416) pointing towards the center of dish?

t, both pointing in same direction?
