  • Arctic Ice Monitoring

Ocean Sonics icListen Smart Digital Hydrophones offer superior results and performance when compared with traditional analog devices.

Here's why:

 

  • Recording typical low-level ocean sounds with analog hydrophones requires ancillary amplifiers, filters, and digitizers.

 

  • Analog recorders suffer from a limited dynamic range, which in turn limits their usability.

 

  • Therefore, analog -> digital recorded data files are limited in their capability to capture the full and true sound characteristics (energy levels and frequency band).

 

  • Digital Hydrophones eliminate ancillary preamplifiers, filters and digitizers, replacing the output voltage with a binary stream. The result: cleaner, richer data more representative of the actual “sound”.

 

  • Smart Hydrophones add automated, real-time processing & logging to the digital hydrophone to create usable, real-time information.  automated alert/alarm functions to report or log whenever a pre-set of conditions occurs.
