BAR-HC Tech Specs
The BAR-HC is designed for long term monitoring in remote locations where frequent access or solar isn't an option. With a ___ battery that can record over ___ hours, this recorder is perfect for hard to access field sites like dense jungles or arid environments with low sunlight. Just schedule, deploy and come back weeks, months or years later.
.... It is capable of recording continuously (or scheduled) for years with only minimal service visits to change the memory cards.
Case and Mounting
Simply connect the microphone and close the lid. A lockable case made from tough UV resistant plastic. Comes with spanner and bolts to mount to star picket.
Recording Capabilities
____ x SD card slots. Supports 16-bit WAV and FLAC (lossless compression) recording at sample rates from 8kHz to 96kHz.
GPS Features
The built-in GPS automatically time-syncs and GEO-stamps your recordings. Set to continuously record or schedule your own listening pattern.
Schedule Recordings with Ease
All Frontier Labs acoustic recorders come with easy-to-use scheduler software. Program any sampling schedules with ease, including sunrise/sunset based recordings, different recordings on different days and waking up at a future date.
Microphones
Our highly sensitive, low noise omnidirectional microphones have a 20dB class A pre-amp and cable driver plus an internal memory chip. These features allow the recorder to automatically log the microphones’ serial number and manufacture date for every recording you make, automatically tracking the age of your microphones.
The BAR-HC ships with one microphone included, but as all microphones exposed to the elements eventually degrade, we recommend purchasing multiple microphones in order to maintain high-quality recordings.
Power & Batteries
The recorder can operate for approximately ___hrs (___ days) of continuous recording.

What does Australia sound like?
The Solar BAR was initially created to fulfil the ambitious dreams of those working on the Australian Acoustic Observatory project. This joint initiative between five Australian universities and several leading conservation organisations aims to continually record 400 ecosystems across the continent for 5 years - that's more than 2000 years of acoustic data!
