The flagship USBL system, the Easytrak Nexus 2, is now available with a choice of transceiver.

Applied Acoustics Launches New Products at OI

without telemetry with all Applied Acoustic USBL systems, as well as those from other manufacturers, thereby maintaining their overall flexibility. To meet the challenges faced by surveyors involved in shallow water, ultra-high definition geophysical surveys Applied Acoustics has re-designed to reliable Dura-Spark range. The sparker sound sources now feature faster rep rates, tuneable electrode banks and adjustable source heights, all resulting in clearer high resolution data, ideal for use in offshore wind farm surveys.   

CSP-N1200 Seismic power supply

Sonar Equipment Selects Applied Acoustics' CSP

the new Applied Acoustics’ CSP-N seismic power supply to its equipment pool. The 1,200-Joule reverse polarity unit selected by Sonar Equipment will operate a variety of Applied Acoustics’ sound sources including the triple boomer plate S-Boom System, single plate boomers and the new long-life Dura-Spark 240. This novel catamaran based sparker assembly has extremely durable electrodes that rarely need replacing and is ideal for high and ultra high resolution geophysical surveys. The CSP-N1200 is a compact 7U unit supplied in a durable transit case. It not only incorporates a unique negative
