32-bit Ultra Low Noise Hydrophone Arrays
sounds

The General Acoustics hydrophone arrays are optimized for highly resolving underwater acoustic measurements in fixed or drifting applications.
Different hydrophones can be provided, covering very weak signals below sea state 0 up to very high sound pressures.
Due to their flexible features and tunability, our hydrophone arrays can be used in a wide range of applications ranging from environmental to technical measurements, for instance: detecting acoustic signatures of vessels, cavitation measurements, support of hydraulic engineering, monitoring the installation of dolphins, piles, etc. or overall acoustic monitoring or mammal detection.
Exemplary signal exhibiting captured acoustic spectra of marine mammals.
We tailor our systems according to the specific requirements of the customer and its demanding application. Systems can contain just one or up to 32 hydrophones, or even more on request.
The realization of large hydrophone networks is possible as well.
The hydrophone arrays are equipped with data acquisition (up to 32-bit) and data logging features to provide a complete and efficient measurement system. The data acquisition can be GPS/PPS-synchronized.
Numerous options regarding power supply, data transmission and logging, GPS, AIS AtoN, additional hydrological and meteorological sensors are available.
The hydrophone array can be delivered as a floating device or moored system on a buoy.
For more information please ask for our data sheet or contact us for finding the optimal hydrophone solution for your application.

General Acoustics test basin, where we are also able to generate waves. With this we have an additional convenient possibility to test, optimize and validate our remote sensing systems. The basin will contribute to an even more efficient in-house research and development and customizing our systems to special customer requirements can now be conducted in application-oriented conditions. Our test basin has a length of 19.5 m at 4 m width and 2.8 m depth.
Being located only a few minutes away from our General Acoustics head quarter, it is utilized since then for a wide array of tasks:
- Ultrasonic and radar wave measurements
- Echo sounding and sub-bottom profiling measurements including nautical depth
- Hydrophone measurements
- Buoy stability tests
- AUV/ROV tests
- Flow measurements
- Sensor calibration
- Wave generation
Furthermore, we offer our customers and partners services regarding tests, calibration and validation measurements.
