Our most professional parabolic microphone package combining the Sound Devices MixPre-3 II recorder with the phenomenal Sennheiser MKH8020 microphone and NEW Telinga Modular parabola! The MKH8020 microphone provides the ultimate in sound quality and can handle adverse weather conditions. The perfect parabolic package when you want to pick up a particular bird call a far distance away while trying to minimize other surrounding noise. The MKH8020 microphone can be used outside of the dish for ambient recordings or inside the dish for super directionality (would need MKH8020 accessories if using it outside the dish). Parabolic mic acts like a zoom lens on a camera zooming in on birds up to a 1/4 mile away. Comes with Sony headphones providing excellent discrimination from surrounding sounds - a great tool to monitor what you are recording and to determine if you are pointing the mic in the best direction to pick up the call the loudest.
