H23 Next Generation Hydrophones

Models: H23-080, H23-100, and H23-130

H23 series hydrophones are small, versatile, self-amplified, and shielded for a variety of underwater acoustic measurements.

Key Features & Benefits

For more than 60 years, Wilcoxon has developed industry-leading transducers for demanding naval applications. The tradition continues with the H23 series of hydrophones for Test & Measurement applications.

  • Wide, flat frequency response for underwater sound measurements over the frequency range 5 Hz to 150 kHz
  • Underwater operation to 680 meters, 2,230 feet, 1000 PSI
  • Ultra low noise internal amplifier eliminates triboelectric cable noise, connector contamination, and an expensive inline amplifier

Applications

Lab and ocean applications for the H23 series hydrophones include:

  • Calibration
  • Military surveillance
  • Underwater biological studies
  • Ship noise studies
  • Pump cavitation and machinery studies
  • Monitoring of underwater ordnance
