... Hi Rob I actually came across it while doing a search to do with batteries for an MZ RH-1. Glancing at the top of the page I noticed this 'advert', which...
John, That's a good question, I too have often wondered about this. I suspect that the large ribbon may be very sensitive to wind and movement, but I have no...
Dear all, Ribbons microphone will also require a 'hefty' amount of gain (can sometimes be a problem even in studio applications) and it might rather expensive...

I just got a new toy, a Zoom H2 recorder. I took it out to Congaree National Park today to try it out. My initial impression is that it is a good value for...
I've always wondered what this bird was that I've heard since childhood growing up in Sydney. I've always imagined it to be an owl. To place you in the scene,...

Hi Peter, The main call is Spotted Turtle-dove (Streptopelia chinensis) and is a common, introduced species. Unfortunately, not an owl or even a native species...
Ah is that what those doves are called? I'm surprised I've never seen one while it's calling. Well so much for my 8-year-old imagination. I'm surprised you can...
Very interesting topic. I have never heard of this technique, so it was neat to see the video and everyone's responses. I work construction, so I have to deal...
... When does an introduced species become a native? this bird was introduced in the 1800's just a little after the settler's. Species like feral cats and cane...
I have a new H2 that I just used today for the first time professionally. I was recording a conference, and they added a session in a different building across...
Probably never, in human terminology. Once the founding population of a species is documented as being introduced, it remains so by definition. The relative...
Robin, thanks for sharing your experiences with the Zoom H2. What gain setting did you use when recording? The posts I've read elsewhere say the H2's best...
It's not free but the 10 CD "field guide to australian birdsong" published by BOCA is an excellent reference. Free with low-fi mp3's for many species is...

I was proud to have "invented" over-under long ago, then discovered it was standard in the audio industry... An extra tip - to train your cables, whether new...
I have not had any trouble with my H2 remembering settings. When I was in the field yesterday I turned the recorder on and off several times. I did notice,...
