Model SQ26-H1

The portable SQ26-H1 underwater recording system consists of the Sensor Technology SQ26-08 hydrophone and the new Zoom H1 solid state digital recorder. The system also includes a 8GB microSD flash memory card, a 12V USB power adapter to power the Zoom H1 from your boat's battery, and a waterproof Pelican case with custom anti-static foam to protect the system. One of the cool things about this underwater recording system is that the hydrophone is powered by the Zoom H1's plug-in power microphone jack. It will record sounds up to 40kHz, which is twice as high as humans with perfect hearing can detect. The SQ26-H1 is the most compact underwater recording system that exists. Files recorded by the Zoom H1 can easily be transferred to your computer via USB for analysis with  SpectraPRO or SpectraLAB software, sold separately.
