Hi Christopher, This is an interesting consideration, and something that I'd never contemplated before. I personally don't like when I have human voices in my recordings because I feel like it mars the quality of the recording. Do you have specific ethical concerns? With photography, I would not want to archive a bird photo with a person's face in the photo, for privacy reasons, so perhaps you're thinking of something along those lines? Matt

Hi John. Good question! I've traveled a few different ways with a Telinga. I have a hard suitcase, so sometimes I have rolled the Telinga dish, packed it with clothes to create internal support, and then put it in my checked suitcase. Other times, I've wrapped it in plastic, then carried it on the plane as my "personal item," and then placed it under my seat or waited to put it in an overhead bin after everybody else has crammed in their carry-on luggage. I've seen hard tubes, and they would add another level of protection, but I've never used one. Let us know what you end up doing! -Matt

Hi Mark, Sorry to hear that you're having some technical problems. Are you still seeing/hearing this problem with your .wav files? And have you seen the same problem in sound editing programs like Ocenaudio or Audacity? Matt Medler Macaulay Library
