Jos=C3=A9,

Try my shaking peanuts test which I use for testing stereo images. You walk=

in front of the mic rig (or around it) at a suitable distance shaking a
canister of peanuts and listen back.

It will give you a good idea of the pickup angle of each mono parabolic rig=

and the way the level and frequencies drop off as you move in and out of th=
e
focus.

Have a listen to:

and scroll down to "Testing the stereo image of the two rigs by shaking
peanuts."
