Elekon Batscanner Stereo Bat Detector

About this product

The Batscanner Stereo provides the user with a truly immersive bat detecting experience. The Batscanner Stereo has two FG Knowles microphones; one on each side of its robust case. When headphones are plugged in (not included), each microphone is wired to one of the headphones giving the user a bat like sense of the movement of the bats around them – a bat on the left hand side of the unit will be louder in the users’ left ear and vice versa, likewise the signal from distant bats is quieter but gradually gets louder as they get closer.

Just like the original Batscanner no tuning is required; all ultrasonic sounds are automatically transformed into the audible range and the mixing frequency of this heterodyne detector is determined and readjusted automatically by the call frequency of the bats. The peak frequency and direction of a bat are displayed on the large digital screen after only a brief flyby, leaving you free to concentrate on the bat rather than tuning your detector.

Both Batscanner models feature excellent audio performance. The heterodyne converter is digitally driven, giving it a clear sound and only minimal noise. The Batscanner also minimizes unwanted ultrasound from crickets and rustling clothing but will not miss low frequency bats like noctules. The Batscanner sits comfortably in your hand, is lightweight, and small enough to take with you wherever you go. Whether on an evening walk or a bat excursion, with the Batscanner you are always prepared.
