R&D: Hydrophones <strong>an</strong>d Preamps<br />
Commercial hydrophones are typically factory calibrated:<br />
piston test at 250 Hz, water pool test above 5 kHz (due to reflections)<br />

INFN <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong> itali<strong>an</strong> comp<strong>an</strong>y (SMID) have developed low cost hydrophones <strong>for</strong> 4000 m<br />
depth, with no ch<strong>an</strong>ge of sensitivity as a function of depth.<br />
