Hi Rob,
It sounds as if you want uncluttered bird song rather than ambient recordin=
gs. I too am a green horn but I do have your Sennheiser set up and am borro=
wing a telinga parabola. My learning at the moment tells me that the shotgu=
n needs very fine focus for required sound on axis. Tiny changes of directi=
on seem to make a big difference. I now always monitor with headphones. The=
ME66 is highly regarded in bird recording circles in U.K. So I am inspire=
d and challenged by that.
I am enjoying the Telinga too. Low frequencies are reduced considerably by =
most parabolic Mics but most bird song falls neatly into the most efficient=
frequency response of such a dish. Once again I am learning to listen care=
fully. I did experiment with squirrel baffles and dustbin lids but they sou=
nd weird to me!
Keep on with your ME66 and experiment deeply with tiny adjustments to posit=
ioning relative to desired sound. It is so rewarding.
Happy recording
Peter
