RESON Hydrophones

RESON Hydrophones & Transducers from Teledyne Marine comprise a broad portfolio of broadband reference hydrophones and accessories developed for demanding underwater acoustic measurement and calibration tasks. Drawing on more than four decades of experience in underwater acoustics through Teledyne RESON, the range supports scientific investigation, environmental monitoring, defense programs, and commercial marine activities with precision sensing solutions spanning frequencies from 0.1 Hz into the MHz range. Every hydrophone is individually calibrated using procedures aligned with international standards established at the UK National Physical Laboratory, providing dependable reference performance for acoustic testing and measurement.

The collection is designed for accurate signal detection, underwater acoustic characterization, and calibrated acoustic projection where appropriate, while also serving as an OEM platform for industrial and commercial applications. Teledyne RESON maintains standard products alongside customer-specific sensor development and modifications to commercial off-the-shelf designs for integration into specialized systems. Manufacturing and calibration operations are conducted under an ISO 9001-certified quality management framework, with dedicated calibration tanks and high-pressure testing capabilities supporting reliable long-term operation in challenging marine environments.
