Recorded with a Wildtronics Amplified Mono-Stereo Parabolic Microphone using a Tascam DR-05 recorder.

In the early morning, water still drips off the trees from a overnight rain, as the birds sing and the woodpeckers search for food. Set-up was 40db of stereo gain + 20dB of mono gain centered on the woodpecker knocks that were 200 yards away.

This is a Showcase series demo recording, which means the original file has been processed with EQ, and some noise reduction to produced a finished file. This demonstrates the final results obtainable from the Wildtronics Mono-Stereo microphone.

Spring Morning in Southern Ohio Part 2

Frogs from 20 to several hundred feet away recorded with the Wildtronics Stereo Ambient Array Microphone (SAAM), in stereo mode. The SAAM is an extremely low noise microphone specifically designed for stereo field recording.

Frogs - Ohio - June with Wildtronics Stereo Ambient Array Microphone

These are samples recorded with the Wildtronics Professional Mono-Stereo Parabolic Microphone. Most of these are recorded using only the stereo microphones, while others have an added center highlight from the mono parabolic microphone. For samples of using only the mono parabolic microphone, see our mono parabolic play list.

A Song Sparrow at 50 feet recorded simultaneously with the mono parabolic and stereo microphones on separate tracks. First, you will hear the sparrow only using the parabolic microphone. Second, you will hear the Sparrow using only the stereo microphone pair, with the stereo background of the other birds in the area. Third, you will hear a post edit mix of both the mono parabolic and stereo recordings. This sample shows the incredible versatility of the Wildtronics Professional Mono-Stereo Parabolic Microphone.

Recorded with a Wildtronics Pro Amplified Mono-Stereo Parabolic Microphone using a mix of 20dB of gain on both the mono parabolic and stereo pair microphones. Approximately 60 feet away from homeplate and near first base, with the parabolic focused at homeplate. Note how well you can hear the umpire behind homeplate about 60 feet, and the people clapping at 100 feet away. Stereo mics added in the mix to allow the entire field of play to be heard.

Softball Game - Pro Mono + Stereo Parabolic

Orchard Oriole - 120FT - Amplified Mono

This is a test of the Wildtronics Pro Mono Parabolic Microphone with human voice at different distances from 10-120 yards. The recorder gain was maintained at the same level. This was in a generally quiet area, but trains were pretty busy on a track 1/4 mile away during the test. In a quieter area, you would be able to hear human speech for much further away than the 120 yards we stopped the test at.

Human - Voice - Test

This is a recording, made using a Wildtronics Pro Mono Parabolic microphone, of human voice in steps from 10 to 140 yards in distance. In comparison to a shotgun microphone, at the 50 yards point, the car in the background completely swamped out the signal from the shotgun mic. The vehicle behind the parabolic mic at the same distance isn't heard well, and the voice in front of the parabolic mic is heard very well.

Human - Voice - 10 to 140 yards - Pro Mono Parabolic Mic

This voice recording, from 10-70 yards, was taken using a Wildtronics Pro Mini Parabolic with a Wildtronics Micro Mic PIP Microphone installed. As you can hear, the human speech sounds quite well, and a range of 50-70 yards is very usable. The mic was pointing towards the truck that passed on a nearby highway.

These tracks compare the difference between the Pro Mini Parabolic Stereo PIP Microphone to the larger Pro Mono-Stereo Microphone. The Pro Mini gives semi narrow stereo image, while the Pro Mono provides a nice isolated subject. Adding in the Stereo Microphones of the Pro Mono-Stereo gives a wider field of view than the Pro Mini.
