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
