CRT CR2 HYDROPHONE
This hydrophone is ideal for the detection and recording of loud underwater signals. Examples of such loud sources include close-range dolphin echolocation, high-power sonar, large pile drivers, air gun arrays, and underwater explosions.
Unlike most hydrophones, the CR2 hydrophone transducer is made from a material that is virtually indestructible. The hydrophones are molded to an extra tough polyurethane-jacketed coaxial cable.
The cables can be terminated with either BNC or mono phone plug connectors. CR2 matches perfectly with any of our DAQ modules.
Hydrophones are not individually calibrated. Calibrated frequency response measurements can be performed upon request.
