It is desiged to provide high quality performance and real world durability at an affordance price. This preamplified hydrophone exhibits minimal change in response and directivity with temperature and hydrostatic pressure. It has a wide range of applications and will easily interface with any signal analyzer or data recording system.

The PHOD-1 has desirable equivalent self noise figures, below Sea State 0. Its integrated voltage preamplifier has a low current draw, making it an outstanding choice for applications where power budgets are low. There is also input voltage overload protection and a built-in calibration feature to verify electrical system integrity before use.
