The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is a decibel (dB) measure of how clearly the loudest sounds (signals) stand out from quieter background sounds (noise) made by the electronics in the microphone and recorder itself.

A higher SNR implies that the recorder can detect quieter signals at a greater distance before the signal is lost in the noise.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Faunatech acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
