Hydrophone Systems for Portable Underwater Recording

Many Cetacean Research Technology hydrophone systems can be turned into portable underwater recording systems by adding a portable recorder to the system. Certain recorders usually pair better with specific hydrophones. There are too many combinations to list, so please see our recommendations below to get a general idea of what we have available. Then contact us and tell us your recording requirements, and we’ll make recommendations that will work best for you.

Hydrophone Systems for Industrial, Engineering, or Noise Monitoring applications

Cetacean Research Technology produces a broad selection of hydrophone systems designed for the recording and analysis of underwater noise, and other engineering and industrial applications. These systems include calibrated hydrophones, computer interfaces or hand-held recorders, and signal recording and analysis software. As an add-on support service to these hydrophone systems, we offer concise training sessions that are tailored to teach you how to operate your system in order to achieve your specific monitoring goals.

If you don’t see a hydrophone system on this page meets your requirements, please contact us so that we may provide you with a custom system that will fit your unique underwater monitoring and analysis needs.

Hydrophone 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.

Autonomous 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.
