Underwater acoustic recorder "Sound Trap" that records sounds such as underwater

Underwater acoustic recorder that records underwater sounds on the Unipos website SoundTrap Page has been added.

SoundTrap Is a recorder for marine acoustic research that records underwater sounds.The recorder body and hydrophone are integrated, and low power consumption parts are used, so it can be installed in water for a long time (up to 150 days: SoundTrap ST600 model) and record.

Below, the compact standard model "SoundTrap ST300, A model capable of 4-channel synchronous audio recording "SoundTrap ST4300, Long-term operation compatible model "SoundTrap ST600There are three types of models.

* Added June 2022
Production of SoundTrap ST300 has been suspended due to the growing impact on the supply chain.
Consider the SoundTrap ST600 as an alternative.
In addition, we will inform you on this page when the prospect of resale is established.
