dB weighting

Hi there

I am wondering if the recordings taken from an AudioMoth have a particular dB weighting? (e.g. dbA, ITU).

I am asking because when creating spectrograms using the seewave package in R, the dB weighting must be set, and from looking it up I think this depends on the settings of the sound recorder. I have looked through the AudioMoth manual and can't find any reference of dB weighting.

Thanks Peggy

Thanks! For anyone seeing this with the same question, I ended up not including db weighting when writing the function, which I think means sensitivity is automatically set to linear. :)
