Product description

The Wildtronics Amplified Pro Mono Parabolic Microphone with Standard .060 Polycarbonate Dish includes built-in preamps that can connect to almost any recording device, plus it has a direct headphone output. The built-in preamp makes it especially useful for obtaining professional recordings with low cost, portable equipment.

Includes a Very Low Noise Electronic Microphone Preamplifier with step-less analog gain control.
Pro Amp Mono models now have a 3 position filter, normal, 220Hz High Pass, and 3KHz Low Pass available for the 3.5mm outputs.
Provides Quick Easy Plug-in Headphone Use, a line level output for low cost recorders, and an amplified mic level output for DSLR, camcorder, or wireless transmitter.
Balanced XLR Microphone Outputs are Maintained and unamplified.
A lightweight, 22-inch, clear polycarbonate, highly accurate parabolic dish. The dish is flexible, yet rigid enough to maintain critical shape, and thick enough for good rear sound isolation. Polycarbonate is a virtually unbreakable plastic that can withstand temperature extremes. Including the Standard 0.060 inch thick rollable version.
Very low noise mono parabolic mic array. The microphone array, by itself, has a noise floor of just 10dBA, which rivals standard microphones that cost >$1000. Low mic noise allows you to hear faint sounds that would normally be lost in the noise of lesser microphones.
Patent pending integral Booster Discs increase the gain to that of a 30-inch dish. This technology also improves low frequency response by eliminating the well known "bass dip" phenomenon, achieving superior sound quality. All competing parabolic microphones have a distinctive bass response dip (500-1000Hz), with accompanying peaks and dips at higher frequencies, causing a tinny sound.
Both balanced XLR and 3.5mm outputs are on the back panel, and you can even use the outputs simultaneously to connect multiple equipment.
Built-in, metal 1/4-20 threads in the base of the handle allows solid, reliable, and easy mounting of the Parabolic Microphone to a tripod.
Power the microphone using your equipment's phantom power or the internal, replaceable 9V battery. A 9-volt battery is required to power the internal preamp.
A foam suspension system reduces handling noise and dampens the dish. The suspension system is a carefully thought out design that isolates major components, and not only a cushioned hand grip. Nothing makes any creaking sounds when the unit is moved during use.
Weighing just 2 lbs 4 oz (1 lb 12 oz w/ Feather Light Dish), the lightweight unit assembles and disassembles into three smaller pieces in under a minute for ease of transport and travel. The dish is flexible so that it may be "rolled" to fit into luggage and carrying cases.
80 PPI (pores per inch) pro grade windscreen included.
Designed and tested to withstand severe temperature and humidity extremes.
Shielded throughout to reduce the effects of EMI/RFI, even from cell phones.
Optional Accessory Bars and the Secondary Windscreen can be used to extend the usability of this model.

Testimonial:"I can honestly say I am stunned. I turned the gain up to 65: no noise or hiss. The volume of the birdsong was actually painful on the ears but no distortion. Superb range. I used the microphone on a singing Chaffinch at 50 feet, a Common Starling 100 feet away, a Song Thrush I couldn't see but I guessed to be at least 300 feet off and a nearby Wood Pigeon. So a broad range of structure, pitch, note fullness and shape and volume and all recorded with fullness and accuracy." Martin, from the United Kingdom
