Hi-Sound Stereo AOL Parabolic Microphone

Parabolic microphones are extremely directional and will pick up sounds over long distances. This makes them ideal for wildlife recording.

The Hi-Sound Stereo AOL Parabolic Microphone uses two pairs of microphones separated by a baffle in order to capture sounds in stereo. The dish comprises two circuits with top and bottom shield; the same shield is tightly connected to the capsules which minimises external interference. Audio range of the microphone is 100Hz – 20kHz. The only additional equipment needed is a compatible recorder. The recorder must support PIP plug-in power if it uses a 3.5mm jack and phantom power if it uses an XLR lead. The microphone is fitted with a handle with comfortable foam grip and a 1m cable

The 2x AOM model has excellent directivity and sensitivity and is ideal for bird song.

The 2 extra sensors in the 4x AOM model increase the sensitivity making this model a good choice for nocturnal bird migration monitoring.
