(image not to scale)
I'm interested in creating a pair of 15 meter diameter parabolic dishes facing each-other at an outdoor event taking place on a dry lake bed with a set of stairs leading up to a platform that would allow a group of people to talk or sing in the focal point, allowing long-range transmission of audio between the two points over a relatively large range, preferably more than 200 meters.
First off, is this even feasible at this distance? Will there be too much noise pollution or loss of voice quality or amplitude?
The temporary structure will need to be assembled on-site. I believe sectional panels could be cheaply built using cloth, chicken wire, and adhesive laid on a form. Will these panels suffice acoustically? Is density of the material a big factor here?
Thanks for any help
