Finally decided to take the plunge and get a Telinga Parabol for bird recording, deciding upon the following as perhaps the best option..
Telinga Stereo DAT
Pro 7 Handle
Flexible dish with wind cover.
Marantz PMD661 Recorder
Is this recorder compatable with the Pro 7 handle and Mic? Have chosen the recorder based on it's size and portablity, nice clear display and ease of use. Will be recording bird species in a variety of habitats on the breeding grounds, but also very interested in flight calls, both of diurnal and nocturnal migrants and would hope to record these birds as well. Portability is a factor as I cover a lot of ground when birding. In the long run I would hope to build an extensive library of quality sound files.
What I am looking for is thoughts on this set up from those of you with wider experience in recording, as well as tips with regard to anything else I might need, will I need an external power source for example?
Would I be right to say the Stereo Dat Mic will have more depth and warmth over the Twin Science Mic, containing more ambient sound? I will be converting to sonograms, the Stereo Dat should be more than adequate?
