A small, spherical transducer for making absolute sound measurements over the frequency range 0.1Hz to 160 kHz with a receiving sensitivity of −205 dB re 1V/μPa. It is rugged, being capable of withstanding pressures of up to 107 Pa (100 atm.; 1000 m (3250 ft.) ocean depth).

This hydrophone has excellent directional characteristics: at 100 kHz, it is omnidirectional over 360° in the x-y (radial) plane and 270° in the x-z (axial) plane.
