Hi Wil,
Thanks for your reply - another naturescapes refugee I see!
My reflector is 20" diameter. I looked at the ME62 but not being very knowl=
edgeable on the technical side of sound recording was put off by
the comment "The ME66 is not suited to a dish" this was from:
http://www.wildlife-sound.org/equipment/newcomersguide/microphones.html#gun
It sounds however that you are having good results! It later implies that t=
he ME62 might be better suited for use in a reflector. This, with the K6 po=
wer supply it prices up at =C2=A3302 (that's US$477) - rather more than I c=
an probably justify for my current occasional useage!
Any other options?
Cheers,
Clive
