This post serves as a follow up, to the recent presentation I gave, for the BatAbility Club - On The brand new Ranger from Titley Scientific.
- The live webinar/presentation review went very well; all the major points and features were well covered for The BatAbility Club (members). I just want to take this opportunity, to add a few extra bits of info:
Just some minor items which I didn’t get to mention, since we ran out of time.
To reiterate: It arrived here, for testing and review – directly from the source – Titley’s headquarters in Australia.
I’m happy to inform you, that the brand new Ranger, recently developed by Titley Scientific, is everything you would imagine it to be!
It boasts:
- Outstanding sensitivity.
- Perfect, highly accurate, distortion-free recordings; with superb resistance to clipping.
- Super-easy deployment via one mode button.
- Robust built-in GPS, which integrates seamlessly with the system.
- A headphone jack and the ability to do transects.
- 3 microphone ports & the ability to use all three simultaneously.
- The ability to choose from, and use several different models/combinations of microphones.
- Two memory card slots - each able to accommodate SD cards up to 1TB in size.
- Easy to use colour touch screen.
- Ability to utilize 8 AA sized batteries.
- Option to be powered by solar panels.
In addition:
The ability to produce and append useful meta-data to each recording.
Superior built-in organization in relation to file folders (multiple folders automatically generated).
The option to fully, and easily customise many of the unit’s individual features.
I have more to add! To be continued…
Happy bat detecting!
