Geo-Sense Filter/Gain Interface: Operational Features

The Geo-Sense Filter/Gain Interface is designed to: 1) Interface Geo-Sense mini-streamers to any third party recording system by providing high quality analogue filtering and two-stage gain amplification. 2) Apply adjustable bandpass or high-pass/low-pass filtering and up to 36dB of total gain to seismic signals in a non-distorting manner. 3) Include connections for powering Geo-Sense streamers and input/output of signals to/from any recording system or other streamers.

Geo-Sense Filter/Gain Interface


Operational Features
Dedicated 4-pin connection to power the
pre-amplifier of the Geo-Sense streamer
and to receive the signal
Standard BNC connections for signal output
to any seismic recorder and signal input
from any Third Party streamer
Audio output to headphone on front panel

Application & Functionality

Mains power 110-230 V AC / 50-60 Hz

Interfaces the Geo-Sense VHR single


channel mini-streamers to any Third Party
recording system

General Features

Provides high quality analogue frequency


filters and two-stage analogue gain
Analogue Frequency Filtering
There are four settings for analogue filtering:

1) bandpass filter of 80 Hz - 2.5 kHz,

This is usually the best setting for the sparker


spectrum. Other filter settings can be provided.

2) high-pass (low-cut) filter of 80 Hz

To remove low frequency noise, it is usually


sufficient to filter only the low frequencies, which
are difficult to remove digitally.

3) low-pass (high-cut) filter of 2.5 kHz

To cut out the high frequencies.

4) no filter
Analogue Gain
To minimise distortion and to avoid saturation, the
seismic signal is amplified in two stages:
1) 0-6-12-18 dB (four levels), the first stage gain is
applied after the high- pass filter;
2) 0-6-12-18 dB (four levels), the second stage gain
is applied after the low-pass filter.
By using the maximum gain setting for both stages,
you can achieve a total amplification of 36 dB.

The Geo-Sense filter/gain interface is designed to


operate with the Geo-Sense mini-streamers and
allows the Geo-Sense mini-streamers to be used with
ANY digital recording system.
The interface is also designed to accept signal input,
via BNC cable, from any other type of streamer.
It is a stand-alone unit that applies high quality, nondistorting analogue filters and two-stage gains to a
single-channel seismic signal.
If you are working with a seismic recording system that
has no suitable analogue front-end, then the GeoSense filter/gain interface would be an essential part of
your system.

Audio Control
You can now listen to your streamer using a headphone
connected to the audio socket on the front panel.

Dedicated Geo-Sense Streamer Connection


The 4-pin connection is used for both the signal input from the streamer and the 12 V
DC power supply to the streamers internal pre-amplifier. This power supply replaces
the standard battery box (which is normally also provided with the mini-streamer).
The four pins are assigned as follows:

Pin 1
Pin 2
Pin 3
Pin 4

+12 V DC power to pre-amplifier


Ground shield (earth)
Positive (+) signal from pre-amplifier
Ground signal from pre-amplifier

BNC Input and Output


The two BNC connections at the rear of the unit are for the single-ended input from the
streamer, and the signal output to any digital recorder (with four settings for signal level
voltage peak to peak of 0.3,1, 3 and10 V).

Optional Functions
Customised filter settings are available on request.
