BirdFox - Batmic GO Bat Detector:

Listen to bats with an ultrasonic detector that connects directly to your smartphone!

The BirdFox BATMIC GO allows you to discover bat vocalizations by converting their ultrasonic sounds into audible ones.

Compact and easy to use, it connects to your phone via the included USB-C splitter. No parabolic microphone, additional interface, or complex settings are required.

Perfect for naturalists, biodiversity enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the natural world, it lets you explore the sonic realm of bats at dusk—whether in a garden, a park, a forest, or near a body of water.

Using a 10x frequency-division system, the BATMIC GO makes captured ultrasonic sounds audible. When paired with the free BirdFox Recorder app, it also enables you to visualize signals as real-time spectrograms and record your observations.

Key features of the BATMIC GO:

Direct smartphone connection: Plugs in via the included USB-C splitter—no extra interface needed.

Ultrasonic detection: Converts ultrasonic sounds into audible ones using a 10x frequency-division system.

Live listening: Hear vocalizations through the included earphones.

Real-time spectrogram: Visualize the frequencies of captured signals using the BirdFox Recorder app.

Record observations: Save your recordings along with their geographic coordinates and metadata.

Ready to use immediately: No adjustments for gain, mode, or frequency are required.

Up to 80 hours of battery life: Powered by a single CR2032 coin-cell battery. Versatile equipment: the included BATMIC capsule is also compatible with BirdMic ONE and BirdMic PRO parabolic reflectors.

Discover the sonic world of bats:

Bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark and locate their prey. They emit ultrasonic sounds that the human ear cannot perceive directly.

The BATMIC GO converts these signals using a 10x frequency-division system, allowing you to listen to them in real time. You can hear the sequences of calls emitted during flight and hunting, as well as certain social vocalizations.

You can begin your observations right near home—in a garden, on a balcony, around a streetlamp that attracts insects, or along a river. Bats are present in many environments, including urban areas.

Visualize and record ultrasonic sounds with your smartphone

The free BirdFox Recorder app complements the detector by offering several features:

Real-time spectrogram visualization: observe the signals and their frequencies.

Live listening: hear the converted sounds through your headphones or, depending on your setup, your phone’s speaker.

Recording: save your observations, even when the screen is turned off.

Geolocation: record geographic coordinates and associated metadata in the GUANO file format.

The app is available for Android 7.0 or higher. It is free and requires no account or subscription.

Please note: the app does not automatically identify species. While the spectrogram and observed frequencies can help guide identification, the actual identification must be performed by the user.

A complete, easy-to-use kit

The BATMIC GO includes everything you need to start listening to bats using a compatible smartphone. The USB-C splitter features two 3.5 mm jacks: one for the BATMIC capsule and the other for headphones. This setup allows you to listen to the signals while simultaneously using your smartphone to record them.

No complex assembly is required: simply plug the splitter into your phone, connect the capsule and headphones, and launch the app to enjoy live monitoring and spectrogram visualization.

A capsule you can keep for future equipment

The BATMIC GO is not a single-use device. The included BATMIC capsule is identical to the one used with BirdMic parabolic microphones.

Should you decide to invest in a BirdMic ONE or BirdMic PRO later on for more directional acoustic observation, you can continue to use this same capsule with the compatible parabolic dish.

The detector thus evolves alongside your practice—from the initial discovery of bats to more in-depth acoustic observation.
