Sensor Technology
Sensortech is a Piezoelectric materials manufacturer in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.
They have been in operation since 1983.
Over the years they have become very adept at developing and manufacturing custom products for customers, and also have one of the most varied core product lines of any Piezoelectric materials manufacturer Worldwide.
They manufacture under ISO9000 a wide range of sensors and conditioning electronics.
We continuously stock their basic system for underwater bioacoustics, the SQ26-08.
All other systems are available on request.

The 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. A custom adapter allows to directly power the internal preamp, to be used with systems not providing the bias power.
