3D Printed Microphone Mod for Distant Recordings

Hi! This spring I made a small parabolic microphone setup, using a consumer grade smartphone microphone and some 3d printed parts. Admittedly, the result is a little bit underwhelming, but it is a good proof of concept none-the-less, for it did end up objectively improving the sound quality. If You would like to also try your hand at this project, then I suggest designing a larger parabolic dish and get yourself a microphone that is better suited to be used in a parabolic microphone setup. To learn more about microphone polar patterns as hinted at in the video, then I can recommend this blog: https://mynewmicrophone.com/the-complete-guide-to-microphone-polar-patterns/ If you have any questions then comments are more than welcome! I will do my best to answer!
