parabolic microphone
A question for those who have been around for a few years , there was a project in one of the early mags about making a parabolic microphone. Just wondering if anyone remebers it and has a copy of the project. Thanks for now........
Re: parabolic microphone
try the"reader's guide to periodical literature" it might be on line by now.You may have to use the local library to search back about 15 or so years.
I think there was one in popular electronics and a couple of the science and or mechanics zines. Ithink one was called the big ear.

Re: parabolic microphone
There were two from the 1960's as I recall. Electronics Illustrated had one using a "parabolic" reflector which was actually a stainless steel mixing bowl. Popular Electronics had "The Shotgun Sound Snooper" which used resonant tubes formed into a rifle-mic, said to have better performance than the parabolic type. I think I can find either, although it'll take a little time to research since I don't have an index for EI. Tell me your pleasure.
