FarONE

A single sensor towable hydrophone, based on a custom version of the cost-effective Aquarian Audio sensors and preamps.
The FarONE includes 100m of tow cable, with polyurethane double sleeve, a 1m PVC flexible towed oil filled pipe, with the sensor and the custom tailored preamplifier and line driver.
On the dry side, on-board, a standard XLR 3-pin microphone plug, ready to be connected to any phantom powered microphone input.
Over 60kHz of bandwidth, with a high-pass filter tuned to cut off the hydrodynamic noise related to towing.

It's small, it stays in a bag;
it is ready to be deployed, no special power supply;
works great with any computer interface that provides a standard phantom power;
featured with a cable-grip.
Prices from 3500€ depending on the configuration and the sensor used.
We have delivered several setups with a digital audio interface for computers, compatible with all the acquisition software running under windows.
We can make multi-sensor versions of this setup, with up to four sensors in the same pipe.
Longer multisensor arrays, with kevlar reinforced tow cables, are also available with custom designs.
