Author Interview: A low-cost acoustic device for monitoring biodiversity and the environment (with Dr. Andrew Hill and Dr, Peter Prince from Open Acoustic Devices)

In this episode of HardwareX podcasts, we talk to Andrew Hill and Peter Prince from Open Acoustic Devices, which is a UK-based company that designs, supports and deploys open-source acoustic hardware and software for our user community, as well as our own environmental and wildlife monitoring projects. In October 2019, their team published a paper in HardwareX titled “AudioMoth: A low-cost acoustic device for monitoring biodiversity and the environment”. The paper is part of the Special Issue on Open-Hardware for Environmental Sensing and Instruments edited by Chet Udell and Shannon Hicks. Their product, AudioMoth is a low-cost, full-spectrum acoustic logger that can listen at audible frequencies, well into ultrasonic frequencies. This podcast episode was recorded, edited, and produced by Santosh Pandey from Iowa State University.
