USER GUIDE
Ultramics are ultrasound microphones, with an integrated digital to
analog converter. It features a 192 KHz, 200 kHz & 250 KHz
respectively sampling rate. The USB 2,0 Full speed port allows an
easy connection to any PC or Mac computer. The device is
recognized as a standard USB audio microphone, so no driver
installation is required!
It appears as a single channel audio input device. However, if
recording in stereo, the two channels will appear identical.

Microphone
The MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) microphone is very
sensitive, with a good signal/noise ratio and small form factor.

Connections & settings


Connect Ultramic to your PC, iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone or
tablet with a MINI USB cable, and it will immediately be recognized
as a new audio input.
In your preferred sound recording software, select the new audio
input, and choose the sampling frequency.

Applications

It can be used by scientific researchers for:


 Detection and recording of biological ultrasounds for
bioacoustic studies on insects, rodents and bats.
 Environmental studies to assess the impact of wind farms
on bats.
 Recording and analyzing mouse ultrasonic vocalizations for
pharmacological studies.

In industrial applications:
 LEAK detection
 Predictive motor fault monitoring
 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 home or in 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 bat sounds! And discover
the ultrasonic sounds of small rodents.
