Hondex™ Digital Depth Sounder

Stereo MK3

The Telinga Stereo MK3 omnidirectional microphone – the latest version of the famous industry standard Telinga Stereo DAT microphone.

Telinga Sweden introduced the first commercially available parabolic microphone in stereo 1986 already, with the concept of recording the focus of the parabolic dish in mono and presenting the ambience in stereo.

The Telinga Stereo MK3 microphone has 8 microphone elements, located in 2 pairs (L/R) separated by a 4,5″ plate. The mono signal from the parabolic dish will affect all the microphones equally while the ambience will be recorded in stereo. This proven and unique Telinga concept gives you a natural recording with very low noise that also withstands very high SPL (Sound Pressure Level). The result is a rich sound with very little distortion for an omni microphone.

Pair the Stereo MK3 microphone with your choice of handle and dish (sold separately) either the PRO-X for Plug-In-Power 3,5 mm minjack or PRO-9 handle +48V XLR for a ready to record system. All our microphones are exclusively designed for the Telinga (V2) foldable dish. You can also use your current Telinga handle, please state model or pin configuration when ordering.

You may easily fold the Telinga V2 Dish and pack your complete Telinga system (handle, microphone, and dish) in the Telinga Soft Case (optional) with some padding in between. The complete assembly of a Telinga system is done within minutes without any complicated instructions.

The PRO-9 MK2 handle can also be purchased as a spare product for your older dish or Telinga microphone.

When recording using a parabolic microphone – you often encounter noise pollution from traffic both in air and on ground. Switching the built in EQ filter ON may help you save or enhance your recording by filtering away low frequencies such as traffic noise or rumble.

The Telinga offers great sound quality in a very reliable package. Once a new microphone model is available you may simply add or replace the new microphone for your current Telinga handle/dish setup, without having to purchase another dish or handle. This way – you can bring one parabolic dish, but still use several different Telinga products.

Easy travelling: use the Telinga V2 Foldable Dish (sold separately) for a very light weight system.
