Wildlife Acoustics makes the recorders, ultrasonic detectors, and classification software that most Canadian field programs rely on for passive acoustic monitoring. We're the line's authorized Canadian distributor.

Ordering through us means CAD pricing on every quote, in-country inventory, purchase-order and government-procurement support, and a Canadian team you can pick up the phone and call during your deployment. No cross-border vendor approval, no FX surprises on multi-month grants, and no brokerage fees on routine orders.

Whether you're scoping a single Song Meter Micro 2 for a graduate project, fleeting Song Meter Mini 2 units for a biodiversity study, or coordinating a multi-year wind-permitting deployment with Song Meter SM5BAT arrays, we can help you spec, quote, and deliver.

Our role

Canadawide Scientific

We're Wildlife Acoustics' authorized Canadian distributor. We hold Canadian inventory, quote in CAD, and provide pre-sales product selection, in-country shipping, warranty coordination, and grant-application support to Canadian buyers — the things you'd otherwise spend hours sorting out cross-border yourself.

We've supplied Canadian research, consulting, and government programs since 1976, and we work with field teams across every province and territory. Our regional sales reps know the equipment, know the use cases, and know the Canadian funding landscape (CFI, NSERC, CIHR, provincial programs, and First Nations environmental funding) that often determines what's actually buyable on your project.

Through our partnership with Wildlife Acoustics, we can also escalate technical questions, source non-stocked configurations, and request manufacturer support for unusual deployment requirements.
