Hi, several people in our bat group have similar issues with Audiomoth recorders - they only record audible sounds, no bats, with below settings.
The Audiomoth devices are older types, who have worked well during a few years. Versions and serial numbers, see below
Recordings are made but these are either noise or audible sounds, eg of birds at dusk and dawn. No bats.
Device 1 : 10231425, version 1.1.0
Device 2 : 10231873, version 1.1.0
Device 3 : 10411822, version 1.2.0
Device 4 : 10411822, version 1.2.0
Could you please advise?
Hi Alex, I tested with a bunch of keys shaking close to the Audiomoth. Now I can see some sounds both audible range and ultrasonic. The keys were at 10 cm from the microphone and it was a loud noise. Now I can see sounds but don't you expect louder sounds at such a close range? Maybe something is wrong with the microphone?
Hi, These settings are fine. Can you send an example of a WAV file? If you record your voice, do you still get good-quality recordings at audio frequencies? Alex
