Standard Coaxial Cable Length: 15 meters (longer cables on order)
Cable terminated with male BNC or mono phone plug connector
Directionality: omnidirectional
Battery / Connector box: power not required
note †
Requires a preamplifier with 100M input impedance, such as the Reson VP1000 or Reson VP2000 preamplifiers.
If a preamplifier with 1M input impedance is used, then the low frequency -3dB point will be at 60Hz instead of 0.6Hz and the -20dB point will be at 6Hz instead of 0.1Hz.
††CR3 hydrophones are individually spot calibrated at the factory; calibration guaranteed between -5ºC and 30ºC.
