Deep Dive: Meet the New Song Meter SM5 & SM5BAT
10 am GMT | 5 am EST | 10:00 UTC
In this workshop, we’ll take a close look at the NEW Song Meter SM5 and SM5BAT recorders from Wildlife Acoustics, covering their hardware, physical and practical characteristics, and how they compare to other Song Meters. We’ll then explore configuration, including how to program multiple channels (both ultrasonic and acoustic) to record simultaneously. Finally, we’ll finish up with a peek at what’s coming next for the SM5 family, including new accessories, hardware, and features planned for 2026 and 2027.
