UltraSoundGate 116He
part # 31166, 31167
Cost-effective and small sized ultrasound recording system with a balanced analog input, trigger button, acoustic monitoring output, rugged aluminium housing, USB 2.0 interface and Avisoft-RECORDER USG/USGH. In conjunction with a low-cost netbook computer such as the Asus Eee PC 901 (Win XP version), this unit provides a cost effective, but still powerful solution for bat call recording in the field.

Principle of the UltraSoundGate 116e recording system
What are the advantages of Avisoft-UltraSoundGate 116e over other bat detectors?
- Increased dynamic range (16 bit A/D conversion instead of 8 or 12 bits).
- Unlimited continuous recording time (the only limitation is the size of the computer harddisk).
- Realtime spectrogram display during recording (can also be disabled).
- Acoustic monitoring either using the broad-band monitor output on the USG device or the virtual bat detector mode in the Avisoft-RECORDER software (heterodyning or aliasing technique).
- In contrast to other PCMCIA-based direct-sampling solutions, the UltraSoundGate system is truly portable and well suited for rough field use. There are no fragile or bulky components that might prevent a flawless field work.
- Optional GPS data logging by attaching an USB or Bluetooth GPS receiver to the PC.
