UltraSoundGate 116Hm (mobile)

part # 41165
# 41166
Very small sized mobile ultrasound recording interface with a balanced analog input, peak level meter, trigger button, acoustic monitoring output, rugged aluminium housing, USB 2.0 interface, recording software Avisoft-RECORDER USGH and water-proof transport case. Thanks to its small size and the integrated peak level meter, this unit is certainly suited for hand held use with small Ultra Mobile PCs (subnotebook or netbook) in the field.

Viliv 2
Small-sized UMPC's, such as this Viliv S5 can be mounted directly (using Velcro stick on tape) on the USG 116Hm, which creates a compact (260 x 90 x 50 mm) and light-weight (780 g) bat recorder with built-in GPS and numerous additional features such as real-time spectrogram capabilities, automated call parameter measurements, weather data logging and a metadata input tool (see screen shot). The battery life of this combination is more than 4.5 hours and in case the screen is switched off, it will even run for almost 8 hours.
