Thank you very much for your responses.  I gather that this idea can work, =
but I dance with a world of trouble.  I live in the desert, and sometimes i=
t's just not possible to get a mic close to the targeted sound.  I'm really=
 interested in a dish, but at the same time, I want to maintain a stereo tr=
ack. =0D

The M-S technique is an interesting suggestion.  I've seen the term, but re=
ally didn't know how the technique worked.  It sounds like I can use one of=
 my 4022s for the parabolic dish and mid channel, but I'll have to get a mu=
lti-patterned mic for the side channel.  The Sound Devices Mixpre encodes M=
-S, so maybe this idea is worth pursuing.  There appears to be several arti=
cles on the web about M-S signal processing, so looks like I have some read=
ing assignments.=0D
=0D
Does anyone have a clip that I can hear using the M-S technique in an outdo=
or setting, maybe a coyote 1/4 mile away in the desert or a raven high on a=
 cliff?  Have experience using the M-S Link function on a Sound Devices Mix=
pre-D?  (Not that I'm being too picky.  LOL)=0D

Thanks again.  The advice I get from this group is invaluable, and I hope t=
o one day be in the position to return the favor.=0D
