The SMX-U1 omnidirectional ultrasonic microphone, designed for use with the SM2BAT+, provides you with excellent performance. It uses the same proprietary technology developed for the Song Meter SM3BAT and SMZC microphones, the SMM-U1.
You can either connect the microphone directly to the SM2BAT+ unit or use it in combination with extension cables, allowing you to position the mic up to 100 m away from the recorder.
Key Features:
- Rated at 8kHz to 192 kHz, it provides a flatter frequency response
- Provides higher sensitivity at frequencies above 60kHz, capturing all necessary details in a bat call
- Low self-noise
- Built-in gain: requires a lower gain on the SM2BAT and SM2BAT+ than the older SMX-US or SMX-UT mics
- Can be purchased with 1, 3, 10, and 50 m cables
If you have an SM2BAT we recommend that you service it every year to keep it in top operational condition. We also can repair these units.
Type: Knowles FG element
In the field: set 12dB of gain on the SM2BAT or SM2BAT+ for normal recording conditions or 0dB if you are close to the bats to avoid clipping. Alter rows 6 to 9 of the jumper switches. Set to 6 (on), 7 (off), 8 (off), 9 (on) for 12dB gain or set to 6 (on), 7 (off), 8 (on) 9 (off) for 0dB gain.

FAQ
Q. Can I Use An SMM-U1 Or SMX-U1 Microphone To Record Non-Ultrasonic Signals?
A. SMM-U1 and SMX-U1 have built-in high-pass filters at 8 kHz to cut down on wind noise and other sources of low-frequency rumble. This means that any sound at frequencies lower than 8 kHz will be significantly reduced in volume or completely absent.
The SMX-U1 microphones have an integrated gain and therefore require a lower gain setting on the SM2BAT and SM2BAT+ than the older UT or SMX-US microphones We recommend you set the SM2BAT or SM2BAT with + 12dB in normal recording conditions, or 0dB if you are close to the bat in order to avoid clipping. The gain is set using jumpers on old models SM2BATs or via DIP switch on SM2BAT +.
