SM2BAT+ Passive Ultrasonic Bat Recorder

The Song Meter SM2BAT+ revolutionizes unattended automatic recordings of bat activity. This solution features:

  • Weatherproof enclosure and microphone withstand harsh climates.
  • 16-bit full spectrum recordings preserve the amplitude and harmonic details of the original bat signal and is more sensitive to detecting bat calls.
  • Record native zero crossing files (on left channel only) that can be opened in zero cross software–no conversion required!
  • Effortlessly program on your computer on directly on the SM2BAT+ simple or complex recording schedules relative to local sunrise and sunset.
  • Adaptive triggering and compression requires less storage capacity to enable extended deployments.
  • Omnidirectional microphone is more sensitive to detecting bat calls in all directions.
  • Record bats, birds, frogs and other wildlife via a second microphone positioned up to 100 meters away.
  • Compatible with all industry standard bat analysis software.
  • Post processing software allows automatic noise scrubbing.

The calls collected were of very good quality and the detector worked precisely as programmed. Very good coverage.”
