Song Meter Configurator

Configure and monitor Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter Mini, Mini 2, Mini Bat, Mini Bat 2, Micro, and Micro 2 recorders directly from your Android device. This configurator app lets you manage settings, track device status, and deploy wildlife audio recording equipment with ease.

Wildlife researchers rely on compact, affordable acoustic recorders to study bats, birds, frogs, and other vocal species across diverse habitats. The Song Meter Configurator app connects your mobile device to the hardware via Bluetooth, giving you wireless control over recorder configuration and real-time status updates. Set date, time, time zone, and location from your phone, then schedule recording sessions without returning to each device. The app eliminates the need for manual configuration in the field, saving time and reducing setup errors.

Different recorder models serve different research needs. The Song Meter Mini and Mini Bat deliver recording quality comparable to the industry-standard Song Meter SM4/SM4BAT in a lightweight, weatherproof form factor. The Mini includes an optional second microphone for stereo recordings, while the Mini Bat supports Zero Crossing and Full Spectrum modes—with an optional microphone attachment that lets you switch from bat recording to birds, frogs, and other wildlife. The Song Meter Micro rounds out the lineup as the lightest and most affordable option, maintaining acoustic performance in a smaller footprint.

Once you've deployed your recorders and collected audio data, the Song Meter Configurator integrates with Kaleidoscope Pro software on your computer. Use Kaleidoscope Pro to search recordings for species of interest, automatically identify bat echolocation calls, and analyze acoustic data at scale. This workflow—field deployment via the configurator app, lab analysis via Kaleidoscope Pro—enables efficient biodiversity monitoring and species identification across large study areas.

Rapidly changing weather, remote locations, and challenging terrain are routine in wildlife research. All Song Meter recorders are engineered to be lightweight, compact, and weatherproof, so they stay operational in any environment. The configurator app puts full hardware control in your pocket, freeing you to focus on study design rather than logistics.
