These new bat detectors from Wildlife Acoustics are really making a big impression on professional batworkers.
The new EM3+ is designed to be hand-held for 'active' bat detecting (although it can also be set and left to record automatically).
The SM2BAT+ is designed as a 'passive' detector, left out at a location for several days to record any bats in the immediate area.
With an extra microphone and extension cables, the SM2BAT+ can record from two locations up to 200m apart!!
The prices for both the EM3+ and SM2BAT+ include 32GB card, batteries, free worldwide shipping and VAT.
If you're not sure which of these detectors will suit your needs, just click on the chat button above to discuss your options or leave a message if I'm not online.

Wildlife Acoustics offers solutions for both active and passive monitoring and recording of bat activity at a fraction of the cost of other systems.
For passive monitoring, the Song Meter SM2BAT+ provides researchers the ability to perform long-term autonomous recordings.
For active monitoring, the Echo Meter EM3 is a
self-contained all-in-one handheld bat detector and recorder. |
"Was using EM3 last night doing NBMP Lesser count……..brilliant……….also recorded pips emerging from nearby roost – had had them before and on Duet sounded out at Pip 45 but clearly shown as Pip 55 on EM3 display. Then stopped off
at couple of sites on way home – very clear call/display of some Daubenton’s at a pond and then Natterer’s at Queenswood . The ability to look in more detail at frequency range etc on EM3 display in ‘real time’ makes ID confirmation
much much easier. I need to play with trigger settings but otherwise best detector I’ve ever used (and have about 12+ different ones now in my ‘collection’ now including some specials I tested for Ciel). Well worth the cost! The
ability to show call to people and so help explain identification is a great asset and will be perfect for in the field training. Can’t recommend the EM3 highly enough! Feel free to quote me!"
James Bisset, Principal Countryside Officer, Herefordshire Council |

“The Echo Meter is an all-in-one detector that has huge potentials, and eventually will make all other detectors obsolete.”
Leif Gjerde from the Nordic Chiroptera Information Center
“RTE is the new way of listening to bat calls. The fact that there is no need to tune the detector like in heterodyne is a huge thing. I was able to ID RTE calls after a couple of days of practice
in the field.”
Paul Howden-Leach, senior ecologist at Baker Consultants in the United Kingdom
Paul's Comments on the EM3
“The calls collected were of very good quality and the detector worked precisely as programmed. Very good coverage.”
Joel Tigner from Batworks in South Dakota, USA
“I field tested the SM2BAT this winter, and overall I was impressed with the unit.”
Cori Lausen from Birchdale Ecological, British Columbia, Canada

NEW Wildlife Acoustics SM2BAT+ Bat Detector, with FREE batteries and FREE 32GB SDHC card
Combining Full Spectrum and Zero Crossing Recording Technologies in the Same Device
Wildlife Acoustics, Inc., the leading supplier of acoustic monitoring systems for endangered and threatened wildlife species around the world, announces the next generation
terrestrial ultrasonic passive acoustic recorder, the Song Meter SM2BAT+.
"With the SM2BAT+, for the first time bat biologists now have a solution for ultrasonic bat monitoring that supports both full spectrum and zero crossing natively in the same product," said Ian Agranat,
President and CEO of Wildlife Acoustics. "We are providing the best of both worlds for half the price of the nearest competitor. Supporting both technologies ensures compatibility with all industry
standard bat analysis software. This is especially important now as bat monitoring guidelines are evolving worldwide."
The Song Meter SM2BAT+ now records natively in zero crossing mode without requiring post processing conversion. These files are not digitally created but instead use zero-crossing hardware. In zero
crossing mode, bat biologists can record over a month of nightly recordings using only the internal D batteries (longer with the Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter SM2 Power Adapter) and expect a 32GB card to
last for any deployment length.
For our full spectrum customers, Wildlife Acoustics reduced the post-data analysis time by enabling onboard filtering of triggered recordings. The SM2BAT+ in full spectrum mode now automatically
eliminates irrelevant files that don't have bat activity. The recordings are saved directly as WAV files and opened directly in analysis software without any conversion. As always, full spectrum customers
can digitally convert their files to zero crossing if they prefer to document both types of files.
With the new SM2BAT+ customers will continue to enjoy the other features of the Song Meter family including the two channel recording capability, flexible recording scheduler, weatherproof housing and
weatherproof microphones. The SM2BAT+ also features several mechanical improvements making it the most robust ultrasonic passive acoustic monitor on the market.
We have been asked about recording lesser horseshoe bats with the SM2BAT+. You have the option of using one channel with 384kHz to detect and see the full calls of the Lessor Horseshoe. Many of our
customers, however, would like to take advantage of the two channels when configured for recording with a sample rate at 192kHz. It is actually possible to still detect the Lessor Horseshoe in this
configuration as the sound is aliased into the range of detection. The call appears as a mirror image of the distinctive harmonic "folded down" and appearing at about 84kHz instead of 108kHz. The
fundamental shows as normal. Please open this file for an example.
About Wildlife Acoustics, Inc.
Wildlife Acoustics, Inc., a privately held Massachusetts corporation, is the leading provider of bio-acoustic monitoring technology for scientists, researchers, government agencies and environmental
consulting firms worldwide since 2003. Our customers monitor birds, frogs, bats, insects, fish, whales, elephants, rhinos and other wildlife.
The Song Meter SM2BAT+ revolutionizes unattended automatic recordings of bat activity.
This solution features:
Weatherproof enclosure and microphone withstand harsh climates.
16-bit full spectrum recordings preserve the amplitude and harmonic details of the original bat signal and is more sensitive to detecting bat calls.
Record native zero crossing files for compatibility with legacy systems–no conversion required!
Effortlessly program on your computer or directly on the SM2BAT+ simple or complex recording schedules relative to local sunrise and sunset.
Adaptive triggering and compression requires less storage capacity to enable extended deployments.
Omnidirectional microphone is more sensitive to detecting bat calls in all directions.
Record bats via a second microphone positioned up to 100 meters away, and effectively have 2 bat detectors for the price of one!!
Compatible with all industry standard bat analysis software.
Post processing software allows automatic noise scrubbing.
Now includes 4 Energizer Industrial Alkaline 'D' (LR20) Batteries and a 32GB SDHC Card FREE!!
