Autonomous SystemsAutonomous Hydrophone Systems and Acoustic Tags
Cetacean Research Technology offers two types of autonomous underwater recording instruments. The first type, manufactured by CRT, is the Remote Underwater Digital Acoustic Recorder (RUDAR™) that includes our newest and easiest-to-use member of the family called the DIVEAR™. The second type is the Acoustimetrics Acousonde™, which is a suction cup attached acoustic tag for cetaceans. All of our autonomous underwater recording systems are designed for easy use and have field replaceable batteries.

Under Water Recording
Under Water RecordingHydrophone Systems for Research and Professional Audio applications
Cetacean Research Technology began manufacturing hydrophones originally for the research and professional audio community in 1994. We continue to offer a vast range of hydrophone systems designed to meet the demanding requirements of underwater acousticians, oceanographers, marine mammal scientists, fisheries biologists, audio engineers, fine artists, and anyone else requiring impeccable audio quality and a very broad frequency response. Because there are so many possible hydrophone system combinations, only our more common systems are listed on this page.
If you don’t see a system that meets your needs, please contact us and we will help put together the best hydrophone system for you.
