i'd avoid it - the mic isn't that good & using aluminum isn't good - colour=
s the sound somewhat. If you're in the UK you can get a dish for around =A3=
50 inc. p&p & then make your own mount & attach a decent omni from MM audio=
or Naiant for example - which are better than the sme mic imo. Or you can=
try the Lisn parabolic dish & mic set up - which is similar to the telinga=
in some ways, though obviously a lot cheaper. It sells for around =A3400 &=
there is a US distributor.
