H23 hydrophone models

H23 next generation hydrophones

Model: H23-080, H23-100, and H23-130

H23 series hydrophones are small, versatile, self-amplified, and shielded for a variety of underwater acoustic measurements.

Key features and benefits

For more than 60 years, Wilcoxon has developed industry-leading transducers for demanding naval applications. The tradition continues with the H23 series of hydrophones for Test & Measurement applications.

  • Wide, flat frequency response for underwater sound measurements over the frequency range 5 Hz to 150 kHz
  • Underwater operation to 680 meters, 2230 feet, 1000 PSI
  • Ultra low noise internal amplifier eliminates triboelectric cable noise, connector contamination, and an expensive inline amplifier

Lab and ocean applications for the H23 series hydrophones include calibration, military surveillance, underwater biological studies, ship noise studies, pump cavitation and machinery studies, and monitoring of underwater ordnance.

H23 hydrophones provide a flat response and are omnidirectional over a wide range of frequencies and orientations.
