Autonomous Hydrophone Systems and Acoustic Tags
Cetacean Research Technology offers two types of autonomous underwater recording instruments. The first type, manufactured by CRT, is the Remote Underwater Digital Acoustic Recorder (RUDAR™) that includes our newest and easiest-to-use member of the family called the DIVEAR™. The second type is the Acoustimetrics Acousonde™, which is a suction cup attached acoustic tag for cetaceans. All of our autonomous underwater recording systems are designed for easy use and have field replaceable batteries.
nRUDAR-mk2™
The Cetacean Research™ nano Remote Underwater Digital Acoustic Recorder (nRUDAR-mk2™) is a hand-held, very compact, short-term, autonomous underwater recording device with more than 4 days of continuous recording time more
µRUDAR-mk2™
The Cetacean Research™ µRUDAR-mk2™(micro Remote Underwater Digital Acoustic Recorder) is a compact, autonomous recording device that is designed for fast and easy deployment, with more than 16 days of continuous recording time more
RUDAR™
Cetacean Research™ RUDAR™ (Remote Underwater Digital Acoustic Recorder) is a compact, long-term autonomous recording device that is light enough to be deployed by hand from small boats more
Acousonde™
The Acousonde™ is specifically designed for application as a cetacean tag. It is a self-contained underwater acoustic recorder comprised of one (or optionally two) hydrophones and is temporarily attached to cetaceans with suction cups more
SpectraPLUS software can be added to any of the systems which do not already include it.
