The Ranger Bat & Wildlife Sound Recorder - Addendum To Recent Presentation For The BatAbility Club

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.

These are in addition to it’s built-in features, which are immediately obvious when glancing at Titley‘s web page on the Ranger. Things like:

• 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!
