Parabolic Microphone Kit

About

 

The Parabolic Microphone kit is a great way to quickly boost the range of microphones to capture more distant subjects. While typically used to record bird calls, the disk is extremely light and is great for many field recording applications, such as news gathering, nature recording, and more. The kit includes an omnidirectional microphone.
