Features

Acoustic Optimization

Precisely tuned for the 500Hz – 12kHz range. Unlike standard microphones designed for human speech, our arrays are optimized specifically for the high-frequency nuances of songbirds.

Signal Clarity

Ultra-low noise and high sensitivity components isolate concurrent acoustic sources, providing the clean data necessary for enhanced classification and source separation.

Field Readiness

Durable, resin-filled housing protects sensitive electronics from moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term reliability in the most demanding field deployments.

Edge Integration

Plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi 5. Fully optimized for ODAS (Open Embeddable Data Acquisition System) to enable real-time source separation and analysis.

Project Status

The Oscine Acoustics system is currently in active development, with general availability projected for late 2027. We are committed to rigorous real-world validation to ensure our hardware meets the highest standards of research reliability.

Field Testing: Santa Marta, Colombia

Oscine Acoustics mic array prototype deployed in the Colombian jungle

A functional prototype is currently deployed in a remote region of the Santa Marta Mountains. This environment provides the ultimate stress test for our ruggedized hardware, exposing the system to extreme humidity, intense sun, and heavy rains.

During the breathtaking dawn chorus, dozens of species vocalize simultaneously—providing the perfect dataset to refine our source-separation and real-time classification capabilities.
