Lessinia ITALY Soundscape using Telinga Universal and EM172 stereo DIY - Roland R-05 by Marco Pesente published on 2012-06-06T19:09:45Z http://www.naturesound.it/2019/05/04/soundscape/ This entry has been awarded runner up in the Habitat class of the 2012 WSRS Wildlife Sound Recording Society sound competition. This is a file that I recorded on May 28, 2012 in Italy, in the mountains near Verona, Lessinia, at 1400 meters above sea level. The soundscape is very angle limited because captured with a parabola stereo using a Telinga Universal, were inside I placed a DIY 3+3 parallel connected EM 172 Primo Stereo microphones. No processing was done in post production. The species recognizable are: Turdus viscivorus, Parus ater, Phoenicurus phoenicurus, Cuculus canorus; in the backgroung Fringilla coelebs. Captured holding the parabola by hand, no tripod at all. These the coordinates: 45.659824,11.085538 BEWARE: the Roland R05 is a digital recorder very FRAGILE both for the 3.5 mm jack and the electronic board, much better and stronger is the Sony M10. This is my opinion after using both recorders. Genre Soundscape Comment by Barb Sennet Hauser The cuckoos are wonderful! 2020-05-14T18:46:29Z Comment by Buteobuteo Yes, extremely clear Marco. I've recently purchased a Roland R-05 so your work re-assures me of my purchase.

Do you have any photo of the placement of mics inside on the dish? I also use Telinga dish but in mono recording and have been thinking about low-budget setup for stereo. 2012-06-08T07:25:28Z Comment by Vicki Powys welcome to Soundcloud Marco, what a lovely recording! 2012-06-07T07:09:07Z Comment by Marco Pesente Forgot: towards the end of the file there is a nice interaction between two cuckoos. 2012-06-06T19:12:39Z
