Echo Meter Touch 2 reveals a world just beyond our senses, waiting to be discovered: Bats, filling the night sky with their imperceptible ultrasonic calls. With this simple, pocket-size device, your smartphone transforms into a powerful bat detector, guiding you to nighttime wildlife previously unknown—but that’s been there all along.
Bat echolocations are ultrasonic, meaning they are outside the typical range of human hearing. Echo Meter Touch 2 plugs into your smartphone or tablet and uses a special microphone and software to transform imperceptible bat calls into audio you can actually hear—and it does this instantly
Echolocations are displayed as colorful visual representations (spectrograms), allowing you to zoom in and listen in great detail with patented Real-Time Expansion™ technology
Thousands of bat species exist worldwide, each emitting its own unique echolocation. Echo Meter Touch 2 listens for these sounds and instantly identifies the most likely bats nearby. Full-color illustrations of detected bats appear with information to learn more about the type you’re hearing.
Echo Meter Touch 2 can identify 38 species of bats in the United States and Canada, 31 species in the United Kingdom and Europe, 63 species in the Neotropics, and 20 species in South Africa.
Like a tiny digital nature journal,Echo Meter Touch 2 records bat calls, tagging each with GPS coordinates that can be displayed on Google Maps™ so you can pinpoint where your discoveries were made
Bring it with you on evening walks around your neighborhood, on nearby trails, or when visiting new places! Your “bat call library” (and your knowledge of bats) will grow.
