About the Song Meter Micro 2

The Wildlife Acoustics® Song Meter Micro 2 is a bioacoustics recorder designed for recording the vocalizations of birds, frogs, and other wildlife. Its compact enclosure and budget-friendly price point make it the most widely accessible Song Meter recorder and well suited for projects requiring many recorders running in parallel.

Its IP67 weatherproof enclosure means it can be left unattended in the field for extended periods to collect audio recordings of nearby wildlife. Its flexible schedule system means you can tailor your deployment to record only periods of peak activity or to stretch the recorder's battery life over longer deployments.

The Song Meter Micro 2 is primarily configured through the Song Meter Configurator mobile app via Bluetooth. This free companion app is available for iOS and Android devices, and it provides a simple interface for configuring the recorder's audio settings. The app receives periodic status updates from Song Meter recorders within Bluetooth range (typically 10-20 meters). This allows you to check on your recorders even when they are out of direct reach.

The Song Meter Micro 2 records audio in the widely supported .wav format, meaning recordings can be reviewed and processed in almost any audio software, including Wildlife Acoustics' Kaleidoscope® Pro analysis software.
