Not sure what you mean by that; the capsule needs to be at the focal point. How 
much sticks out the back doesn't matter.

Facing the dish is the theoretically correct way to do it, but Telinga teaches 
that other ways work, too, like stereo in a dish. Using the Universal with the 
mic pointing away from the dish will reduce the HF a little, but the dish 
system has a rising HF response anyway, so it isn't critical.

Listen to it both ways and choose what you like.
