Description

PDF

This is a parabolic microphone reflector remixed and reworked in Onshape to accommodate a LOM Usi Pro microphone capsule and to be mounted using a magic-arm or similar. 

Assembly is simple; print one of each half and glue together.   Superglue or epoxy both work well.

The microphone should be mounted pointing towards the dish (backwards) and the cable should be zip-tied down either arm with a little slack (but care should be taken to avoid banging or loose bits making noise!) The microphone will need to be adjusted in-and-out a few mm to find the exact focal point of the dish.

Ideally;  the dish should be spin-coated in a hard, acoustically reflective material,  this will maximize the reflected audio and reduce back-pickup (from objects and handling BEHIND the dish)
