About Underwater Acoustic Transducers

Underwater acoustic transducers can contain both transmitters and receivers, or they can be solely transmitters used in conjunction with a hydrophone. They sense reflected sound and use distance and directional data for communication, mapping and navigation. Underwater acoustic transducers have an operational range, but are usually designed to operate at their resonance frequency to maximize output power. They are most typically single frequency transmitters, but they may contain multiple transmitters and receivers for different frequencies.

Products & Services Related to Underwater Acoustic Transducers

Acoustic Enclosures

Acoustic enclosures are full chambers, enclosures, or rooms designed to attenuate or minimize acoustical noise.

Anechoic Chambers

Anechoic chambers are specialized chambers designed for electromagnetic or sound waves.

Hydrophones

Hydrophones are underwater acoustic sensors used in marine research, undersea mapping and navigation, and various commercial and military applications.

Measurement Microphones

Measurement microphones are most commonly condenser microphones, which convert sound pressure to an output that is then converted into a reading such as sound pressure level (SPL).

Specialty Audio Equipment

Specialized audio equipment is used in specific industries such as the recording industry, and for specialized applications such as voice digitizing and analysis.

Ultrasonic Transducers

Ultrasonic transducers send and receive waves for many types of sensing. Examples include distance, proximity, level, nondestructive evaluation, web break detection, counting, and security applications.

Voice Loggers and Audio Recorders

Audio recorders / voice loggers are used to locate, retrieve, duplicate and/or distribute audio voice or data information from single system environments to large multi-channel networked systems.
