These devices are intended to allow the user to hear sounds at a distance that would be inaudible to the unaided ear. The parabolic mikes are excellent for nature listening, especially for birds. Law enforcement uses these devices for surveillance.
Parabolic mics use a large area to gather sound energy and then focus it to a sensitive mike element and amplifier to further enhance performance. Parabolic mics gather roughly 3 times more sound than shotgun mics, but they also cover a wider area and therefore capture more background noise and aren't as good at isolating sounds from a noisy background. Shotgun mics are more directional and are often used for sound gathering in action movies. They also are used for surveillance by law enforcement. Shotgun mics use a sensitive amplifier with a series of resonant tubes or a single tube with baffles. |

The advantage of shotgun microphones is their ability to "hone in" on a sound source and reduce the amount of background noise. Many variables effect the transmission of sound at long distances -- whether the source is facing you, the air density and temperature, the amount of background noise, and of course the source volume. The ability to hear your target can be greatly effected by any one of these. |
