D/45

D/45
  • OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RESPONSE
  • HIGH POWER PROJECTOR
  • EFFICIENT TRANSMITTER
  • BROADBAND OPERATION
  • DEEP WATER CAPABILITY

The D/45 spherical transducer is a versatile design providing omni-directional transmit and receive characteristics over a wide frequency range. 

The fully moulded construction, coupled with the inherent strength of the PZT ceramic sphere, achieves a robust, lightweight and corrosion free design making it the ideal choice as a high-power projector. 

The D/45 is available with or without acoustic calibration, traceable to National Standards.
