Dodotronic ULTRAMIC Operation & User’s Manual

Text of the manual

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.

1 – Only with Soundchaser software.

2 – Only on some devices (search the compatibility on www.dodotronic.com) The ultramic has been developed with the scientific support of: CIBRA / University of Pavia. ULTRAMIC Operating system 192K 200K 250K Windows 8 √ √ (1) √ (1) Windows Vista √ √ √ Windows XP √ √ NO Windows 7 √ √ √ Linux Ubuntu √ √ √ Linux Raspbian √ √ √ Linux Android √ (2) √ (2) √ (2) Mac Os √ √ √ iPhone - iPad √ (1) √ (1) √ (1)

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.

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. Trimmer position

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: www.unipv.it/cibra/seawave.html
