I have seen on the internet that some people use AOM 5024 microphones. Does anyone know how to mount them to make a sound trap?

Hola Jacobo! A warm welcome to Birdforum from all the staff and moderators.

Hi Jacobo and a warm welcome from me too. I've moved your post to the Bird Sounds and Recording forum, as I think you're move likely to get the information you want there.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

I use them in a parabolic mic, but I don't understand what you mean by a "sound trap".

Like talking to a brick wall.
Does anyone else know what a "sound trap" might be ?

I suspect English is not Jacobo's first language.
It's pretty easy to see he hasn't been on the forum since 9 Feb so won't have seen your message.

Maybe chill a little.

Suspect he just means a field audio recorder.

Perhaps Jacobo meant a sound trap as the translation of the French "piège à son". That is, the solution of an autonomous recorder that is connected to a microphone so as to allow continuous recording without the intervention of a human operator as happens in the NocMig sessions. If this is what he meant, then he will find a lot of useful information from page 26 to page 31 of the fine book "La migration nocturne par le son" by S Wroza & J Rochefort, Delachaux et Niestlé, 2021 (in French), where mention is made, among other things, of the use of the AOM 5024 capsules for this purpose.
