The u256 sets a new standard for USB microphones offering excellent sensitivity, low noise, small size and ultra-low power consumption – all for a modest price. Learn more about the different types of bat detectors. The components are housed in a slim and durable aluminium enclosure.

Like the well-known Pettersson M500-384 microphone, the u-series microphones identify as standard audio recording devices on Windows, OS X, Android, iOS and Linux. Likewise, they are compatible with most common sound recording apps and programs.

The USB connector on u256 plugs directly into a USB Micro B jack, becoming a small and portable recording unit. An extension cable and/or other types of USB jacks may also be used, with an adapter.

The u256 is ideal for:

  • Education programs
  • Professional active monitoring and selective recording
  • Mobile transects
  • Professional short term passive recording where a tablet/netbook may be deployed
  • Microphone may be extended over 40' using an inexpensive USB active extension (some tablets may not allow this extension)

Highly flexible with many software and platform choices:

  • Windows 8 or higher Capture Software: SonoBat Live*, BatSound Touch Lite, BatSound Touch, SoundChaser, Audacity
  • Linux Capture Software: Audacity
  • Mac OS X Capture Software: SonoBat Live*, Audacity
  • Android Capture Software*: Bat Recorder, USB Bat Detector
  • iOS Capture Software: Ultrasonic Analyzer (using the Apple Camera Adapter)
  • Bat Call Analysis Software: any software accepting full spectrum .wav files (SonoBat, Kaleidoscope PRO) or EchoClass and BCID when files are downsampled to zero-cross data.

 Learn more about how bats use ultrasound.

Why choose Pettersson?

Less than 1% of all M500 microphones ever sold have ever been returned for refurbishment. When you are conducting serious, time sensitive research, count on Pettersson equipment having more uptime than other detector platforms.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask BCM a Question

  • Is this compatible with all Android phones? I have an oppo find X2 pro and didn't want to buy to have to return later

    As far as we are aware, it is compatible with Android phones with the proper connector and the app called Batrecorder. Thanks and have a great day!

  • Hi, Will this detector measure relative sound pressure/decibel level? Or is that stripped out in the conversion?

    This is a function of the software; as a full spectrum microphone however, it does natively retain amplitude information. You would just need software or a smartphone app that displays the amplitude/dB level. The included Batsound Touch software does this, as well as many apps, even non-bat oriented apps that use the microphone.

  • When will the microphone may arrive to Florida? Can you send link for payment with credit card (mastercard)

    When in stock, microphones ship within 2 business days and would arrive in FL about 2-3 days after shipping. You will be provided a link which you can track the shipment. If you'd like a payment link, send your complete shipping address along with the quantity of the product you'd like to order to sales@batmanagement.com However, you can simply order online to speed up the process. The u-series microphones may connect directly to a smartphone, but now may require an adapter. We recommend the M500-384 microphone as it connects to a wider range of equipment and comes with sophisticated PC recording/monitoring software.

  • It's my undersrtanding most Android/iOs devices are locked at 48k sample rates. Do these have D/A converters that somehow bypass that and bring in the higher sample rates to the apps that are being used? Thanks.

    Android/iOS/tablets top out at 384 kHz sample rate with appropriate software. The best bat-specific smartphone app available we know of is batrecorder for Android. For the latest advice see the Facebook group "Bat Call Analysis Workshop" for advice on other possible apps. All smartphone recording apps from any manufacturer, are regarded as simple recorders with a simple visualization of the sonogram. For high-res and true species ID work, expect to bring the recordings into a full analysis application such as SonoBat. https://batmanagement.com/products/sonobat-4-north-america
