BAR-LT

Designed to meet the stringent requirements of professional users, the BAR-LT comes equipped with industry leading features as standard.

 

With unmatched recording capacity and true lossless compression, plus GPS time-stamping and location syncing, it’s possible to stretch the boundaries of your research even further.  

 

The built-in GPS automatically time-syncs and GEO-stamps your recordings for easy data processing and milli-second accurate schedule programming. The user friendly scheduler software allows anyone to easily create complex sampling schedules, including sunrise/sunset based recordings, different recordings on different days and waking up at a future date. 

 

The highly sensitive, low noise omnidirectional microphones have a 20dB class A pre-amp and cable driver to optimise the signal to noise ratio and ensure crystal clear recording and playback.

 

The inbuilt microphone memory chip allows the BAR-LT to automatically log each microphones’ serial number and manufacture date, enabling users to track and manage the age of your microphones for measurable quality control of recordings.

 

The choice of power supply options offers flexibility. Use the external power input (6V and 12V) with inbuilt low-power shut-off trigger to protect your external batteries, or deploy remotely with  rechargeable long-life lithium batteries. The BAR-LT’s battery slots are independent of one another, meaning you can choose to use only the number of batteries required for the estimated recording time, reducing weight for field deployments.

 

The BAR-LT also comes with an aluminium mounting plate and camouflage tension strap, allowing it to be easily mounted to a tree or star picket.

LEFT AND DOWN (STANDARD)

2 channel configuration with one channel underneath the recorder (which offers better rain protection) and the 2nd optional channel on the left side for connecting to an extension cable to another microphone or hydrophone. (We recommend this configuration). 

 

LEFT AND RIGHT

2 channel configuration with left and right stereo separation (can be useful for processing by human listening).
