Sensor Technology SQ26-08

This hydrophone is a general purpose hydrophone ideal for whale watching, full audio-band signal detection, and mobile underwater recording.
This hydrophone has a slick & compact design. It is manufactured by Sensor Technology in Canada.

The SQ26-08 must be used with a recording device or preamplifier that has a bias powered (plug-in-power) microphone input, such as the MicroTrack II used in the SQ26-MT recording system.
Applications:

• Kayaking
• Recreation
• Tourism
• Environmental science
• General cetacean research
• Educational outreach programs
• Contact microphone
• Geophone
• Capturing the sounds of the natural underwater environment for eco-art
• Adding underwater sound to video recordings
