Broadband Spherical Hydrophone
The TC4014-5 broadband spherical hydrophone offers a very wide usable frequency range with excellent omnidirectional characteristics in all planes. The overall receiving characteristics make the TC4014-5 an ideal transducer for making absolute underwater sound measurements up to 480kHz. The wide frequency range also makes the TC4014-5 perfect for calibration purposes, particularly in higher frequencies.
The TC4014-5 incorporates a low-noise 26dB preamplifier providing signal conditioning for transmission through long underwater cables.
The TC4014-5 features an insert calibration facility, which allows for a reliable test of the hydrophone.
The sensor element is permanently encapsulated in special formulated NBR to ensure long-term reliability. The rubber has been specially compounded to ensure acoustic impedance close to that of water. The hydrophone and connector housing is made of corrosion resistant aluminum bronze.
TC4014-5 has differential output. The differential output is an advantage where long cables are used in an electrically noisy environment.
