SONG METER SM4 ACOUSTIC RECORDER
Setting the standard for bird and wildlife audio recorders.
The Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter SM4 is the proven industry standard wildlife audio recording equipment, specially engineered to deliver quality sound recordings of birds, frogs, and other vocal animals in the wild.
High Quality Recordings
- MAXIMIZE DETECTION AND FIDELITY.
The SM4 features two second-generation built-in microphones that create higher quality recordings of birds and vocalizing animals than previous generations of Song Meter microphones. The low-noise microphones have a superior signal-to-noise ratio so you capture more wildlife sounds that matter to you.
Dual-Channel Recording Capability
- TWO CHANNELS FOR MORE RECORDING FLEXIBILITY.
Take advantage of the SM4’s dual-channel feature to ensure that recording continues – even after one microphone is disabled by wildlife-incurred damage. Record in stereo or mono using the built-in microphones, or connect one or two cabled microphones or hydrophones. Adding additional runs of cable to the external microphone gives you the ability to capture audio from far-off wildlife such as birds in the forest canopy or frogs at a nearby pond.
Easy-to-use Scheduling
- CHOOSE A SCHEDULE OR CREATE YOUR OWN.
To get you started quickly, the SM4 features easy-to-use Quick Start schedules, such as sunrise to sunset. You can also customize your schedules for specific wildlife sound recording needs. The free SM4 Configurator software can be used to configure settings and schedules from a computer. The SM4 Configurator software also provides a Security Lock option to prevent accidental changes to deployment and recording settings.
Large Storage Capacity
- CAPTURE TERABYTES OF DATA.
The SM4 has two SD card slots that accept SDHC and SDXC cards. When fitted with two 1TB cards, the SM4 can store up to two terabytes of data.
In addition, you can save card space by using W4V Compression. The format doubles the capacity of your SD cards with no noticeable degradation of recording quality. The resulting W4V files can be opened with and/or converted to uncompressed WAV files using the free version of Kaleidoscope software.

ACCESSORIES
SM3/SM4 Power Cable
The SM3/SM4 Power Cable allows the SM4 to run on external battery power or a complete solar panel charging system. Simply plug the cable into the recorder's power connector and connect the other end to the battery system using the included spade or ring terminals. The SM4 will handle external power sources from 4.5 to 17V DC and is protected against accidental reverse voltage.
Marine-Grade Padlock
This lock will ensure your recorder's cover is secured. The unit features a brass body and cylinder to provide extra resistance to the elements. The marine grade lock is keyed alike, allowing multiple locks to open with the same key.
Weather Resistant Cable Lock
The adjustable locking mechanism holds the 6'/1.8m cable tight in any position for a secure fit. The unit features a weather resistant lock and vinyl coated 5/16"/8mm braided steel cable. Note: Lock is keyed differently.
SM4 Armor
Made of indestructible steel and coated in a durable powder epoxy finish, this custom-designed case is the best solution for preventing prying teeth and claws from damaging your SM4. It provides visibility of the unit's LED light and also protects the unit's cable and power connections.
Song Meter SM4 GPS Option
For researchers who have large geographic areas to cover, the GPS option is a valuable, time-saving tool. When deploying multiple recorders, use a single GPS accessory to set and synchronize the date, time and location settings on/between each of your recorders.
Song Meter Surge Suppressor
The Song Meter Surge Suppressor protects SM4/SM4BAT recorders from power surges that could harm your recorders. This accessory should be used wherever microphones are mounted at elevation. Combine the Surge Suppressor with the SMM-U2 Grounding Bracket for added protection.
The suppressor is also compatible with the SM3 and SM3BAT.
