Hello. So I thought the audiomoth has a directional microphone but it appears from a post below that its omni. But my question is what does this really mean since its housed in a box? Does it have a 180 degree field of hearing? Can it hear behind it at all where the batteries and cases may block sound? How do I achieve 360 field of hearing? Will i get this from one audiomoth or since the way the microphone is housed is it really only directional? I ask because I am working out detection distance for my species and so I need to work detection space from this. My species is a primate so I'm wondering if I face it up to the trees then do i get equal sensitivity in all directions?
Thank you
Hi Saul, I'm not sure where the study was published in the end. Probably best to follow up with Ella Browning at UCL (ella.browning.14@ucl.ac.uk) who did the comparison. Alex
