Sample Rate

  • Options: 8,000; 12,000; 16,000; 22,050; 24,000; 32,000; 44,100; 48,000; 96,000; 192,000; or 256,000 Hz.

  • Default: 24,000 Hz.

Determines the number of samples per second used to make a recording during a recording period. Higher sample rates take up more SD card space for a given recording length, but they allow you to record a broader frequency range of sound (subject to the sensitivity of the microphone).

Choose a sample rate at least double the highest frequency you want to record. For example, a sample rate of 24,000 Hz will capture sounds up to 12,000 Hz.
