The best option if you're on a budget and want one that work

I am using my own Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone. So, I will focus on my review of the dish. It works! Does it work as well as the big ones know? But does it work? Yes! You can hear a bird up to 20, 30, or 40 feet away. This will also depend on how much gain the microphone can be provided. The microphone I'm using requires plug-in power, which makes it very sensitive. A microphone that uses phantom power would be much more sensitive. A microphone with phantom power would increase the effectiveness of this diss. With my microphone, I am happy with the performance of this dish. The range is more than 40 feet, however. I was able to pick up sounds that were at least five blocks away from me. They weren't very loud, but they were all audible. It is super Director, but not as direction or as a shotgun microphone. This is more sensitive than a shotgun microphone. Its pick-up pattern is cardioid. If you're trying to record birds or other far-away animals like that, this is the only real option, and it works brilliantly. I'm thrilled with it. It's like being able to have the hearing of a dog. Two more things to note: it is slightly sensitive from behind the diss The recorder I'm using to capture the sound is a TASCAM DR-05X 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Audio Recorder with Onboard Stereo Microphone (Black)

Is this for use with a single lav or could a stereo setup be achieved?
Asked by: Blair
The Sound Shark SS1 Long-Range Dish for Lavalier Mics is meant for use with a single microphone. Dishes of this type are directional in nature and would not produce an accurate stereo image with dual microphones mounted within.

Will this work better with a cardioid lav or an omni lav?
Asked by: Ray Kendrick
Our Sound Shark (and KLOVER MiK 09) are designed for omnidirectional microphones but a "true" (wider pattern) cardioid will work. With a cardioid microphone you will have slightly lower amplification as the signal from the outer portion of the collector dish will have a lower signal level from the microphone. Super cardioid and hyper cardioid will lose significantly more signal strength. Some people have used cardioid mics with good success but the products were designed for an omni-directional mic.
