Hi!
You can also consider Audio Technica AT-4022. It's a great mic with low
noise.
It needs phantom power though. I don't know if the FEL mic preamp has
phantom power?
I bought mine for $249 but I think $349 is more realistic.
A cheeper alternative is to make your own mic. Frogloggers.com have EM-172
mics that cost $9.90

=C4mne: Re: [Nature Recordists] Microphone advice for Parabolic please
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
knowledgeable 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
the ME62 might be better suited for use in a reflector. This, with the K6
power supply it prices up at =C2=A3302 (that's US$477) - rather more than I=
can
probably justify for my current occasional useage!
Any other options?
Cheers,
Clive

anyone recommend a better microphone for such a set-up as I was somewhat
