Parabolic microphone

A parabolic microphone is a device that captures sound over a distance with high directionality. It uses a parabolic dish-shaped reflector to focus sound waves onto a receiver (microphone) placed at the dish's focus point. The shape of the dish gathers sound vibrations from a specific direction and concentrates them onto the microphone, allowing it to pick up distant sounds clearly. This technology is often used in nature observation, surveillance, or sports to hear sounds from far away without disturbing the subject. Its design ensures that sound from a specific direction is amplified while minimizing noise from elsewhere.
