The Bioacoustic Probe

Ordering Information


Updated 5 November 2007
Model B002B Bioacoustic Probe
Model B002B is discontinued and all stock has been sold. Development of a replacement is underway but as of this writing (5 November 2007) it is too early to list specific options and ordering information.
Model B002B Bioacoustic Probe
Integrated, self-contained underwater acoustic recording instrument with 576 MB storage capacity, hydrophone (-172 dB sensitivity after integrated preamplification), pressure transducer (750 PSI for 500 m maximum depth), and thermistor, and maximum sample rate of 20 kHz. Battery (sufficient for one deployment) included.
Model B002PA Power adapter
Supplies power to the Bioacoustic Probe, when it is not being run off battery, via a custom-machined threaded insert that mates with the battery compartment. Each user must have at least one adapter to power the Bioacoustic Probe during energy-intensive tasks such as data offload.
Option B002/1GB
Storage upgrade to 1 GB total storage capacity.
Option B002/ACCEL
Upgrade to incorporate 2D accelerometer.
Option B002/1500PSI
Option B002/3000PSI
Modifications for different depth ranges. 1500 PSI is appropriate for maximum depths of 1000 m; 3000 PSI is appropriate for maximum depths of 2000 m.
Option B002/25PSI
Modification for very shallow depths (17 m maximum). Unlike other pressure options, this modification requires changes to other aspects of the instrument.
Option B002/190DB
Modification to incorporate a less sensitive hydrophone (approximately -190 dB sensitivity).
