D/140/H

D/140/H
  • INTEGRAL PRE-AMPLIFIER
  • OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RESPONSE
  • LOW NOISE PERFORMANCE
  • BROADBAND OPERATION
  • MARINE MAMMAL AUDIO SENSOR
  • MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTH 250 M

The D/140/H is a true spherical balanced element combined with a low noise differential pre-amplifier. 

Signals can be transmitted along cable lengths up to 250m, without any degradation. The pre-amplifier gain options of 20, 30 and 40 dB (pre-set during manufacture) are to suit customer requirements. 

A differential to single ended Surface Receiver (Model T400) which includes additional filter and gain settings, can be supplied separately.

The D/140/H is available with or without acoustic calibration, traceable to National Standards.
