D/17/BB

D/17/BB
  • NEAR OCTAVE BANDWIDTH
  • OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RESPONSE
  • EFFICIENT TRANSMITTER
  • HIGH POWER PROJECTOR
  • DEEP WATER CAPABILITY

The D/17/BB is a highly efficient omni-directional transducer with a 3dB bandwidth from 12 kHz to 27 kHz. 

The D/17/BB transducer is ideally suited for use in broadband noise systems, long-range transponder and voice/ data communications. The robust construction enables the transducer to operate in extreme underwater environments. 

The D/17/BB is available with or without acoustic calibration, traceable to National Standards.
