Have been thinking about different ways to capture sound lately for samples and even more so after coming across recording made with ultra sensitive microphones capturing the sounds of insects like banana flies and suchlike.
Like the idea that you can use such specialized microphones as the ones above on your Android device even though there is not many of us that will have much use of capturing Ultrasonic sounds there is maybe one or two that will find this useful?
Here is some information from their website:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characteristics
- 200 K sampling per second. ULTRAMIC200K.
- 250 K sampling per second. ULTRAMIC250K.
- True 16 bits resolution.
- Frequency range up to 100 KHz - 125 KHz.
- MEMS high sensistivity Surface Mount Wide-band Ultrasonic Acoustic Sensor.
- High quality and low noise analog amplification.
- USB device full speed port with a mini B USB connector.
- 32 bit 80 MHz integrated microcontroller.
- Dimentions: 130 mm lenght x 20 mm diameter.
- 8th order antialiasing low pass filter.
Applications
The ultramic can be used by scientific researchers for:
- Environmental impact assessment for wind farms.
- Detection and recording of biological ultrasounds for bioacoustic studies on insects, rodents and bats.
- Recording and analyzing mouse ultrasonic vocalizations for pharmacological studies.
- Detection of the high-frequency noises emitted by switching power supply, by LCD screens, and also by the turbines of car and truck engines.
In your house or in your office, discover the ultrasonic noise emitted by your TV, your computers, and by the power adapters of all your electronic devices.
Outside, use the UltraMic to record the ultrasonic signals bats emit to echolocate and discover the ultrasonic cries of small rodents.
Bats are a very important component of our ecosystems, they are protected since 1930 and recent studies demonstrate that they are important to keep down the population of insects and mosquitos.
The ultramic has been developed with the scientific support of CIBRA / University of Pavia.
