Song Meter SM2 Terrestrial Ultrasonic 384kHz Package
Code: 009025

Bat monitor for long-term deployment
Based on the SM2
For bats echolocating at up to 192kHz (European)

The SM2 Ultrasonic package is a bat monitor designed for long-term deployment, based on the SM2 field recorder platform from Wildlife Acoustics.

The Song Meter SM2 has long been used for passive recording of wild birds. Now Wildlife Acoustics has launched the SM2 Ultrasonic package, with ultrasonic microphone and interface board. It has a lot to offer for long-term passive monitoring of bats in remote and unattended locations.

This outstanding specification is available for nearly half the cost of an Anabat SD1 with the bonus of waterproof housing and microphone, full spectrum recording, longer battery life, ease of programming, post-processing tools, etc, and you can still convert your files to zero crossing if that is best for maintaining continuity in your existing workflow.

This mono 384kHz option includes a one-channel 384kHz 16-bit sample rate card and one SMX-US weather resistant ultrasonic microphone for recording bats at higher frequencies. The second channel can still be used with a conventional SMX-II acoustic microphone to record birds, frogs, and other wildlife at different scheduled times, but not simultaneously with ultrasonic monitoring.

Bat echolocation calls up to 192kHz can be recorded, sufficient for monitoring nearly all species present in Europe.
