USER GUIDE
Ultramics are ultrasound microphones, with an integrated sensor
and analog to digital converter. Three version are available with 192
KHz, 200 kHz & 250 KHz sampling rate. The USB 2,0 Full speed port
allows an easy connection to smartphones, tablets, PC or Mac
computers. The device is recognized as a standard USB audio
microphone, so no driver installation is required!
It appears as a single channel audio input device. However, if
recording in stereo, the two channels will appear identical.
Sensor
The MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor is very
sensitive, with a good signal/noise ratio and small form factor.
Connections & settings
Connect Ultramic to your PC, iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone or
tablet with a MINI USB cable and if needed an adapter, and it will
immediately be recognized as a new audio input.
In your preferred sound recording software, select the new audio
input, and choose the sampling frequency.

Applications
It can be used by scientific researchers for:
Detection and recording of biological ultrasounds for
bioacoustic studies on insects, rodents and bats.
Environmental studies to assess the impact of wind farms
on bats.
Recording and analyzing mouse ultrasonic vocalizations for
pharmacological studies.
In industrial applications:
GAS LEAK detection.
Ultrasonic bearing lubrification.
Detection of the high-frequency noises emitted by switching
power supply, by LCD screens, and also by the turbines of
car and truck engines.
In your home or in office:
Discover the ultrasonic noise emitted by your TV, your
computers, and by the power adapters of all your electronic
devices.
Outside, use the UltraMic to record bat sounds! And discover
the ultrasonic sounds of small rodents.

Amplification settings
Ultramic can be easily opened, via a screw on the back. The
amplification can be changed turning the integrated trimmer.
Unscrew the ring on the back of the
device, near the USB connector.
Pull the aluminium tube.

ANALITICAL SOFTWARE
SEA wave & SEA pro
Ultramics can be connected to any software able to record at 192
KHz, 200 khz and 250KHz respectively.
It will be well optimized with SEAPRO, and SEAPRO analyzer.
Mainly developed for bioacoustic studies, this software can be used
for a wide range of applications requiring real-time display of sounds
and vibrations.
It allows to view in real-time the spectrographic features of sounds
acquired by any sound device compatible with all Windows version.
The use of this software is free of charge for personal non
commercial use.
The latest version of SEA software are available here:
