The u256 & u384 set a new standard for USB microphones offering excellent sensitivity, low noise, small size and ultra-low power consumption – all for a modest price. The components are housed in a slim and durable aluminium enclosure.

​

Like the well-known Pettersson M500-384 microphone, the u-series microphones identify as standard audio recording devices on Windows, OS X, Android, iOS and Linux. Likewise, they are compatible with most common sound recording apps and programs. The microphones are of course compatible with BatSound and BatSound Touch software (for Windows). Some other recommended software for various operating systems include Audacity (Windows, macOS, Linux), Ultrasonic Analyzer (iOS) and Bat Recorder (Android). For information about the specifications and availability of these, please refer to the respective software developer.

​

The Bat Recorder app for Android devices is available in a paid and free version for the Pettersson u256 and u384 (works also with the M500-384).

​

Please verify the hardware/software compatibility and that 256/384 kHz recording is supported. Certain smartphones/tablets – particularly low-end devices – have been found not to support USB audio at 256/384 kHz.

​

The USB connector on the u256/u384 plugs directly into a type C jack, becoming a small and portable recording unit. In order to connect the u256/u384 to devices with other types of USB jacks or when space constraints make it difficult to plug the u256/u384 directly into the USB jack, an optional extension cable and/or adapter can be used (not included).
