The dish has the shape of a perfect parabola with a focal length of 4". It is a quality dish that is built to last. The Microphone is an active condenser mic that operates on a 9V battery (included), which is only active when plugged in. The mic draws a very tiny current which makes the battery last for weeks and weeks even when left on. The mic is designed for use with a variety of small recording or audio amplifying devices that accept input from an ordinary microphone. Devices include cassette tape recorders, MP3 recorders, and laptop computers. The mic cable has a male 1/8" phone connector which plugs into the battery box. Output from the battery box is a female 1/8" phone plug which is for connecting your recorder/amplifier. The microphone is fixed to a threaded shaft which protrudes out the back of the parabola. This gives you many options for mounting. A handle is not supplied, but user can make a simple handle or bracket for mounting to a camera tripod as shown. About the sound: This thing works read more
