The Crake Sound Mini Parábola is a portable directional parabolic microphone designed especially for birdwatchers who are starting out in bird sound recording, as well as for those who already record and are looking for maximum portability without sacrificing directionality or amplification power.
Its rigid, transparent 1.6 mm parabolic dish (21 cm diameter × 19 cm depth) provides excellent sound focus, ideal for capturing bird songs and calls even at a distance, while reducing environmental noise.
The Crake Sound Mini Parabola can be connected in two ways:
➜ Directly to your smartphone via USB-C, allowing instant recording using the Merlin Bird ID app, without the need for an external recorder.
➜ To a portable audio recorder that provides plug-in power via a 3.5 mm mini-jack input.
The microphone is mono and requires no batteries, it is powered directly by your smartphone or recorder, making it a simple, lightweight and plug-and-play solution, without the need for additional professional equipment.
The Crake Sound Mini Parabola includes an adjustable smartphone grip or the option to mount a portable audio recorder directly onto its thread, ensuring a stable and comfortable user experience.
