📡 OMG, someone wrote *another* thesis on parabolic microphones! 🎤 Surprise, surprise: big things capture more sound. Who knew?! 😲🥱 Expect *riveting* revelations like "size matters" and "mirrors are shiny." 🙄

The Physics of Parabolic Microphones: Frequency Dependence of Gain - Physics, Birding and Blindness

Introduction [latexpage] Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn't difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable size. Just as a large amount of weak light is captured by a telescope's
