GeoSpectrum M5 Hydrophone Specification
version 1.0, March 2003

M5 (-198.6 dBV, 2.3 nF )

 

 

Similar to the M4, but with greater voltage sensitivity. Low cost in high volumes.

The M5 hydrophone is a higher-output version of the M4. Like the M4, this hydrophone is low-cost in high volumes and is designed for continuous immersion in isoparaffinic fluids or sea water.
