It says "When recorded in 1990 this was the only known recording made of a solo
dingo howling in the wild" which is amazing too. Is it that rare to only hear
one, or are there just so few people recording?
I camped at Palm Valley in 1995, maybe I heard that same dingo. There were
certainly a few around. I wish I'd had some recording equipment then.

Congratulations on your recording being chosen by the NFSA.
Here's the link for those who'd like to listen to this fascinating vocalisation:

Thanks John! I now have a much better understanding of this. Even the 1-point
stereo mic I bought for the DAT was only 12 mV/Pa.
My reason for wanting to know, is that a recording I made back in 1990 in
Central Australia of a lone dingo howling, has been selected by Australia's
National Film and Sound Archive as one of the top ten sound clips for 2014 that
have recently been added to their collection. It is the only wildlife sound
recording to reach the top 12, other clips are pop songs from yesteryear e.g.
Great Southern Land, and a wartime recording of soldiers singing.
My recording is all the more remarkable then, if made with a baffled pair of 3
mV/Pa mics! While there is a bit of tape hiss, it is a very clear recording
and very evocative. The dingo was about 50 metres from me, or less.

Just to complete the connecting of dots of this helpful explanation, I believe
that means the sensitivity of the ME9 is only 3.16 mV/Pa compared to 38 mV/Pa
for the EM172.
Thanks, Eric.

So the sensitivity of the Olympus me9 is probably -50 dBV/Pa. A very low
sensitivity by more modern standards.
