Hydrophone TC 4042

Low Noise Spherical Hydrophone

TC4042
Wide frequency range Spherical differential sensor Differential in/output amplier Single or differential output Self supporting cables to 1000m IVC calibration

The TC4042 is a spherical, low-noise hydrophone with 20dB differential preamplier. The hydrophone provides a single output mode. The single-end output mode is established with a four conductor cable. The built-in preamplier has the capability of driving cables of more than 1km. The TC4042 features an insert voltage calibration facility (IVC), which enables remote testing of the hydrophone condition.
