Parabolic Reflector
Assembly and Use
ASSEMBLY
You have booked out and probably
have in your hands a very delicate
piece of sound recording hardware.
Please read our terms and conditions
before proceeding. This is what it
should look like when it is assembled
correctly:
The parabolic reflector MUST be
used with the Tascam DR100. The
best result will be obtained out doors.
If used indoors various echoes will be
picked up from close proximity walls
and ceilings.
Best results can be obtained by using
the Tascam DR1000 in battery mode.
If the machine is used in mains power
mode a loud buzz may be heard. This
is not a fault. So always go for battery
mode
After assembly, if it looks any
different to the photos above,
dismantle it and have another go.

HOW TO USE IT
Instruction for the toggles switch will go
here, once I have had a look at it!!!!
This unit requires you to switch the
phantom power on the Tascam
DR100 to the "ON" position. Located
on the underneath of the maching.
You will have to activate the XLR
mode on the front of the Tascam
DR100. Remember you will have to
regulate your own recording level and
this is a very responsive microphone,
so an overloaded recording may not
be a stranger to you !!!!..

Keep an eye on those LED's
And wear headphones
And listen to them !!!
