Sonar: Hydrophone, Underwater Transducer.

BENTHOWAVE INSTRUMENT INC. Acoustic Transducer & System 

Hydrophone and Phased Array

BII manufactures wide range of hydrophones (Underwater Microphones) and AE sensors for underwater and ultrasonic applications, and they are completely waterproof, corrosion-resistant and withstand high levels of salinity.
Low Noise: Lower than sea-state 0 Low Power: 40 to 350µA quiescent current for battery powered instruments
Miniature: Acoustic Aperture size Φ0.8mm Broadband: Detect signal up to 3MHz
Sidelobe Suppression: ≤-30dB, Bespoke Directivity: Omnidirectional and Directional, Custom-fit
Phased Array: Beamforming/Steering/Focusing High Temperature: up to 198°C/390°F
Ocean Depth: up to 1000m Projector: Hydrophones without preamp can be used as low power sound sources
Typical Applications  
Underwater Sound Recording and Listening, Seismology Ultrasonic (Ultrasound, AE, Nondestructive) Testing, Physical Acoustics
Underwater Communication, Telemetry and Acoustic Control Hydrophone and Transducer (Projector) Calibration
