Welcome to the list, Barney. I want to add to David's good advice. There ar=
e two ways, or styles, of recording nature sounds. One is what I call "spec=
ies hunting" where the objective is to separate the sound source from the e=
nvironment, for study or production use. The Telinga dishes are the best to=
ol for that.
The other style is "soundscape recording," where the objective is to record=
the whole scene. The Telinga stereo dish mic can be used for that when sep=
arated from the dish, tho Telinga makes another rig, the "SSM" pair of mics=
, even better suited for soundscape recording.
