Hi there, I was curious about the temperature range of Audiomoth device (when in a plastic bag). Haven´t found this specification. I have a plan to deploy several devices without hard case, just in a plastic bag, to the forest in the winter Mid Europe, where the temperature may fall to minus 15 (even -20) degrees Celsius. I apologize if a similar question has been raised somewhere already. Many thanks for your advice in advance.

The new AudioMoth 1.2.0 with firmware version 1.5.0 on-wards can be adapted to be compatible with external electret condenser mono microphones, commonly known as plug-in powered (PIP) microphones. To adapt the hardware, you'll need the 3.5 mm jack socket ( SJ2-35464A-SMT-TR ), which can be soldered to the exposed pads on the front AudioMoth surface. The 3.5 mm jack socket can be sourced from a number of suppliers here . PIP microphone assemblies are available, such as the Primo EM258 or they can be built from components. AudioMoth 1.2.0 can be used with a wide variety of differently wired 3.5 mm jack plugs. To find out more, read our full application note on using AudioMoth with external microphones here .

Hello everyone, I recently created a facebook group, to talk about the different devices recording biodiversity as well as their news: https://www.facebook.com/groups/opensourceacousticsloggers We will therefore discuss: the updates of the AudioMoth + app + firmware but also all the subjects that you may find interesting to discuss! New devices, new technologies, new softwares... Do not hesitate to participate and share this group! I hope to be able to relay the news on AudioMoths which is not very present on this social network! Looking forward to reading you! Stephane
