Cetacean Research Technology CR1A
The CRT CR1A hydrophone is an excellent multi-purpose hydrophone.
This non-preamplified hydrophone is ideal for the detection and recording of very loud signals, such as those from pile driving, air guns, or underwater demolition operations.

All CR1A hydrophones are individually spot calibrated at the factory.

Requires a preamplifier with 100MOhm input impedance, such as the Reson VP1000 or Reson VP2000 preamplifiers (on the left).
If a preamplifier with 1MOhm input impedance is used, then the low frequency -3dB point will be at 16Hz instead of 0.2Hz and the -20dB point will be at 2Hz instead of 0.02Hz.
