Product Description

Maximum quantity available reached.

The AR180 is a professional quality ultrasonic receiver that is designed for ultrasonic recording and acoustic analysis. It is Binary Acoustic Technologies widest bandwidth ultrasonic receiver.  It is designed to receive bat calls in the 1KHz to 180KHz frequency range and it is capable of detecting the higher frequency bats such as those founds in areas of Australia, Europe, and Central/South America. It employs a directional ultrasonic element along with ultrasonic to digital conversion technology which produces a high quality, digitally sampled, acoustic stream that is injected directly into a laptop or lab computer for recording and analysis. 

The AR180 is specifically designed for applications such as bat recording and vocalization analysis where directivity and a wide ultrasonic frequency range are desired.  It employs low noise circuitry to achieve high sensitivity along with a large dynamic range.  It is sensitive enough to detect the faintest sound a human can hear (0 dB SPL) and it is capable of detecting bats at distances up to several hundred feet.

 Product Highlights

  • Wideband ultrasonic element
  • Direct digital conversion technology
  • 1KHz to 180 KHz operating range
  • High sensitivity and 90 dB dynamic range
  • High speed USB 2.0 interface

AR180 is better at:

  • Active recording/viewing live full spectrum activity, and then selectively recording only the bat pass of interest.
  • Educational demos; people are entranced by the "campfire effect" of watching bat activity go by live.
  • Passive monitoring; the AR180 is housed in a robust weatherproof housing more appropriate for inclement weather.
  • Orient this microphone horizontally to minimize moisture in the cable port. Raise this microphone as far as possible from all obstructions (~12'+ above ground) and extend it into the airspce you intend to monitor.
  • Compatible with SonoBatLIVE and Bat Recorder Android app
  • Compatible with Myotisoft Transect
  • Compatible with SonoBat Bat Call Analysis software
