Lightweight Full-spectrum Power

Download BatSound Touch Lite software for this microphone

The u384 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 the u384 plugs directly into a USB C 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 (not included). For professional use/best recording quality, we recommend the microphone be extended at least ~10 feet (or more) above ground.

  • Extremely high quality sound; the SonoBat classifier was built using this family of microphones
  • Superb Petterson quality control & consistency between units
  • Best value of any USB powered bat detector microphone available anywhere
  • Compatible with Android and iOS smartphones
  • Includes BatSound Touch Lite (free download) for Windows PC
  • Compatible with SonoBatLIVE for Windows PC
  • Compatible with Bat Recorder Android app- This is the best smartphone app for this device. Please contact Pettersson for information about this app 

The u384 is ideal for:

  • Education programs
  • Professional active monitoring and selective recording
  • Voucher calls/call library building
  • 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) 

This microphone requires recording hardware and software to function; there are many recording choices:

  • Hardware with Windows 8 or higher and USB port: BatSound Touch Lite, BatSound Touch, SoundChaser, Audacity
  • Linux Capture Software: Audacity
  • Mac OS X Capture Software: SonoBat Live (with Parallels or Boot Camp), Audacity
  • Android Capture Software: Bat Recorder, USB Bat Detector
  • iOS Capture Software: Ultrasonic Analyzer (using the Apple Camera Adapter- this is a generic sound app)
  • Bat Call Analysis Software: This is separate from recording software; this microphone is compatible with any software accepting full spectrum .wav files (SonoBat, Kaleidoscope PRO) 
  • Looking for more solutions? Join the Bat Call Sound Analysis Workshop Facebook Group and North American Bat Call Analysis Facebook Group

 

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.
