Hi John,
I live on Cape Cod, on the border of a tree farm about 4 miles from
Hyannis/Boardman Airport. The tree farm is loaded with wildlife of all
sorts and a great place to record but for the noise problem, especially
airplane noise as planes landing at Hyannis/Boardman often come in right
overhead. I have found that a pair of ME66 microphones work quite well,
not that they will reject the noise, they do somewhat however the noise
level is so high they are not capable of reducing it more than about 6db
which helps. But what they do is give you a stronger sound level of
your subject that you are recording relative to the noise level. As you
already have one ME66, yes, I would think getting a second would help
increase the wanted sound to noise ratio. I sometimes run 4 medium
length shotgun mics phased such that the signals add giving higher
forward gain in the center of the cone of acceptance...
