Model AMAR G3 -Autonomous Multichannel Acoustic Recorder

Efficient by design for extended deployments

The AMAR is optimized to use as little power as possible:

• Solid-state memory custom designed to consume very little power
• Leading-edge hardware and software purpose-built for intelligent, ultra-low power usage achieved by turning off unused components
• Large memory capacity up to 1792 GB for extended deployments, even at high sample rates
• Extended-life battery options
• Highly configurable duty-cycling (power saving) options

With fewer batteries, the AMAR G3 is smaller and lighter than other recorders. Save time and money with longer deployments and fewer service trips.

Survives extreme conditions
The AMAR is built to perform in the harshest conditions. The rugged, industrial design has been field tested in extreme environments, from the heat of northern Australia to the sub-freezing oceans of the Arctic. The custom-designed solid-state storage memory is more mechanically resilient than traditional hard-disk drives. You can download your data without opening the pressure housing, so the AMAR electronics are protected from the environment.

The flexible solution: versatile and configurable
Advanced configuration options meet your performance demands. Whether studying effects of vessel noise on low frequency call rates of baleen whales off Alaska, or high-frequency clicks of dolphins in the Great Barrier Reef:

• Eight 24-bit acoustic channels at up to 128 ksps
• The high-speed 16-bit acoustic channel offers ground-breaking sample rates up to 687.5 ksps
• Multiple digital and analog interfaces to support oceanographic data sensors or integrate into your existing systems
• Choose between Standard (250 m) and Deep (2500 m) models

JASCO works closely with hydrophone manufacturers to develop the right system for your unique needs. The AMAR is compact and lightweight for cost-effective, fast, easy deployments by hand. Buy or lease custom-designed moorings or use our specialized mounting brackets to secure the AMAR to your own gear.

Intuitive user interface
The AMAR Comms Box instantly displays the AMAR’s status. And it connects the AMAR to your computer with a standard Ethernet cable to configure the AMAR and download data.

The AMARlink software is designed for usability: easy to learn and easy to use. Set up multiple sampling rates, duty cycles, and recording schedules with ease. Save your recording schedules for quick and easy reuse. Download all or some of your data at the click of a button.
