I've enjoyed my squirrel baffle even tho' I was baffled trying to find the =
golden point....it gave me a curious wibbling sound on occasions that I gre=
w to like. But it did pick up voices pretty well. I'd be interested in the =
process you go thro' with your Primo capsules....some photos of the various=
 stages would be excellent if you have time.=A0Thanks=A0Peter

Hello,

At the moment I'm planning on building a reflector microphone, based on a =
=A315 bird feeder squirrel baffle dome from a hardware store.

Now I understand that since the baffle isn't truly a parabolic shape (it is=
 more a hemisphere), then it won't perform as well as a true parabolic refl=
ector. I've uploaded a couple of photos to the group page, here is a link t=
o them.

For the microphones I will be using micbooster Primio EM172 capsules, hooke=
d up to my new Olympus LS14 recorder.=A0=A0

It certainly should be a fun experiment!
I'll be sure to post updates to this thread as I progress with the build.

Regards,

Brian.
