H2a-XLR Hydrophone

Please see our upgraded H2d. We are leaving this page active for a limited time for users that want to buy a match for a previously-purchased H2a-XLR. The H2a-XLR may also, with its lower sensitivity, be better for high-amplitude recording.

The H2a-XLR hydrophone is designed to work with any PA system or recording device that offers a balanced, phantom-powered, microphone input. It uses the same low-noise, robust transducer assembly as our H1 hydrophone, but includes a low noise internal buffer amp. Operation is very simple: just connect to your mic preamp, switch on phantom power and use. No additional power supply is required.

The H2a-XLR offers the following advantages:

• Low cost
• Low self noise
• Good sensitivity
• High dynamic range
• Works with any common phantom power voltage
• Robust design handles accidental drops and temperature extremes
• Compact (4.5mm OD) Low-noise cable with tough urethane jacket
• Connects directly with pro condenser microphone circuits.
• High-quality Neutrik gold output connector
• Compact size and easy hand of cable
• High specific gravity and streamlined shape keeps hydrophone down in currents
• 1-year limited warranty
