Subject: Ultrasonic natural sound recordings From: Nicol Harper <nicol.harper@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:58:32 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--047d7b15abbd90bc0304bdf62044 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello. I am new to this list. I am making at set of natural sound recordings. I would like to be able to record frequencies up to at least 40kHz, with a microphone that is as insensitive to sound-source direction as possible and also preferably with with a fairly flat frequency response. I will probably also want to avoid sounds from vibrations and knocks to the microphone during movement of the microphone. I am currently using a zoom H2 recorder on mono mix with a 96kHz sampling rate, and carrying it carefully or using a tripod. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_H2_Handy_Recorder I was thinking of maybe using a zoom H4 with a Knowle FGO microphone. http://www.avisoft.com/usg/KnowlesFGO.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_H4_Handy_Recorder Does anybody have any other suggestions, or know of anything I should watch out for? I can spend up to a few thousand dollars.
