Cutting-edge tools for capturing and analyzing spider acoustics

Field Recording Equipment

Spider Sound Microphone Array

Spider Sound Microphone Array

Model: SSMA-2024
Frequency Range: 20Hz - 20kHz
Sensitivity: -60dB ±2dB

Custom-designed microphone array for capturing directional spider sounds. Features noise-canceling technology and ultra-sensitive diaphragms tuned to barking spider frequencies.

Usage Notes:

  • Position 30cm from suspected sound source
  • Use windscreen in outdoor environments
  • Calibrate before each recording session
Portable Sound Analyzer

Portable Sound Analyzer

Model: PSA-X1
Battery Life: 12 hours
Storage: 256GB SSD

Real-time analysis of spider acoustics in the field. Features AI-powered species identification and environmental noise filtering.

Field Tips:

  • Pre-load species profiles before deployment
  • Use "Stealth Mode" for shy specimens
  • Enable "Bean Counter" mode for dietary analysis
Environmental Habitat Monitor

Environmental Habitat Monitor

Model: EHM-Pro
Sensors: Temperature, Humidity, Pressure
Logging Rate: 1Hz

Monitors environmental conditions that may influence spider acoustics. Correlates atmospheric pressure with sound intensity.

Best Practices:

  • Place near spider habitats
  • Monitor pressure changes before meals
  • Log food type correlations
