[QUOTE="Glenn Norberg, post: 214774, member: 14337"] The goal is to have (more or less) 360 degree coverage with (400mm dia) dishes to magnify the sounds. My limited experience with a hand held dish (prototype [URL='https://www.gearslutz.com/board/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1']#1[/URL] ) allowed me to catch (annoyingly so) amplified audio from a fairly wide angle, and focus the dish where I chose for accuracy. The reason for the 4 dishes is to help determine the direction of a sound source. Then we would turn the array to face one of the dishes, focusing at the source. I figured that we would put them on a rotatable turntable of sorts. I know it sounds crazy, but we are investigating the Bigfoot phenomenon We have reason to suspect that they come in stealthily and out of sight to observe ppl. We want to (hopefully) detect them via sound (tree snaps, etc) as they come in. The array is so we know what direction the approach is, and then use a FLIR to catch video.
