Note: Existing owners of EMT2 USB-C devices will now be able to update the firmware on their devices to make them compatible with iOS devices. This can be done by connecting your device to an Android device with the latest version of the Wildlife Acoustics app. Please take note that only iOS devices with native USB-C ports will be compatible. This means that devices with lightning ports either directly or through an adapter will not work with the EMT2/EMT2 PRO. Any new devices will be software compatible out of the box.

The Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro turns your Android smartphone or tablet into a high-quality, professional bat detector. This tiny device plugs directly into the USB-C socket of your phone or tablet and, when used with the free app, will let you listen to, view, record, and identify the sounds made by bats.
New Ultrasonic Module:
The second generation Echo Meter Touch Pro has been designed to produce the highest quality recordings. Ultrasonic bat sounds travel through the integrated acoustical horn before arriving at the ultra-quiet microphone element. This results in a clean recording with very little background interference. With a maximum sampling rate of 384kHz, the EM Touch 2 Pro can capture sounds of up to 192kHz.
Record and Identify Bats:
The Echo Meter Touch app allows you to record bat calls directly to your phone or tablet in WAV format (16-bit). All files are tagged with GPS coordinates letting you view your recordings on Google Maps. Live sonograms can also be viewed in colour on the screen of your device. The latest Kaleidoscope Pro classifiers will suggest the most likely species for each recording, vastly reducing your analysis time. Classifiers currently cover North America, the Neotropics, the U.K., Europe and South Africa.
Share and Transfer Recordings:
Recordings made with the EM Touch 2 Pro can be shared with your colleagues by text or email, and you can transfer all of your files directly to your PC or Mac via WiFi.
Advanced Settings:
Choose from a sample rate of 256kHz or 384kH and control the recording amplitude by selecting from three gain settings. Trigger length, trigger window, trigger sensitivity and auto-trigger time can also be adjusted, as well as the audio division ratio for RTE, heterodyne and time expansion listening modes. Nightly session mode and real-time ID can be turned on and off as required.
