PRODUCT DATA

Hydrophones — Types 8103, 8104, 8105 and 8106

Brüel & Kjær hydrophones are individually calibrated

waterborne-sound transducers which have a flat fre-
quency response and are omnidirectional over a wide
frequency range. Their construction is such that they
are absolutely waterproof and have high corrosion re-
sistance. All Brüel & Kjær hydrophones are manufac-
tured using lead-free nitrile butadiene rubber. There are
four types of hydrophone:
• Type 8103 is suitable for high-frequency laboratory
and industrial use and particularly for the acoustic
study of marine animals or for cavitation
measurements
• Type 8104 is a general purpose hydrophone, also
ideal for calibration purposes
• Type 8105 is a robust spherical hydrophone usable
down to 1000 m ocean depth with excellent
directional characteristics
• Type 8106 has a built-in amplifier which gives a
signal suitable for transmission over long cables. It
is usable down to 1000 m ocean depth

Introduction

The Brüel & Kjær range of waterborne-sound transducers consists of the following:

Fig. 1 Hydrophone Type 8103

Hydrophone Type A small-size, high-sensitivity transducer for making
8103
absolute sound measurements over the frequency
range 0.1 Hz to 180 kHz with a receiving sensitivity
of − 211 dB re 1 V/μPa. It has a high sensitivity
relative to its size and good all-round characteristics,
which make it generally applicable to laboratory,
industrial and educational use. Type 8103’s high-
frequency response is especially valuable when
making acoustic investigations of marine animals
and in the measurement of the pressure-distribution
patterns in ultrasonic-cleaning baths. It is also useful
for cavitation measurements. Fig. 1 indicates the major
features of Type 8103.

Fig. 2 Hydrophone Type 8104

Hydrophone Type A wide-range standard measuring transducer for
8104
making absolute sound measurements over the fre-
quency range 0.1 Hz to 120 kHz with a receiving
sensitivity of −205 dB re 1 V/μPa. It can also be
used as a sound transmitter (projector) which makes
it ideal for calibration purposes by the reciprocity,
calibrated-projector and comparison methods. The
main features of Type 8104 are shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 3 Hydrophone Type 8105
Hydrophone Type A small, spherical transducer for making absolute
8105
sound measurements over the frequency range 0.1 Hz
to 160 kHz with a receiving sensitivity of −205 dB re
1 V/μPa. It is rugged, being capable of withstanding
pressures of up to 107 Pa (100 atm.; 1000 m (3250 ft.)
ocean depth). This hydrophone has excellent direc-
tional characteristics: at 100 kHz, it is omnidirectional
over 360° in the x-y (radial) plane and 270° in the
x-z (axial) plane. Type 8105 is illustrated in Fig. 3.

Fig. 4 Hydrophone Type 8106

Hydrophone Type A wide-range, general-purpose transducer for mak-
8106
ing absolute sound measurements over the frequency
range 7 Hz to 80 kHz with a receiving sensitivity of
−173dB re 1 V/μPa. The hydrophone is capable of
withstanding high static pressure, the operational upper
limit being 107 Pa (100 atm.; 1000 m (3250 ft.) ocean
depth). A built-in high-quality, thick-film, low-noise,
10 dB preamplifier provides signal conditioning for
transmission over long underwater cables. The
preamplifier features a 7 Hz high-pass filter and an
insert-voltage calibration facility, but does not allow
the hydrophone to be used as a projector. An inte-
grated watertight connector allows quick disconnec-
tion of the cable and makes replacement and storage
very easy. Type 8106 is shown in Fig. 4.

Construction

The four Brüel & Kjær hydrophones are piezoelectric transducers, that is, they use piezoelectric
ceramics as sensing elements. The piezoelectric sensing element and its internal supporting
structure are permanently bonded into sound-transparent, lead-free, nitrile butadiene rubber.

The support bodies of Hydrophones Types 8103 and 8104 are made from a 70 – 30 Copper-
Nickel alloy. Type 8106’s support body is made of Aluminium-Bronze alloy CuAl10Ni5Fe4
(ISO 428). Both alloys have extremely high corrosion resistance to virtually all hostile envi-
ronments, and very good anti-fouling properties when immersed in seawater. Type 8105 has
no metal parts exposed.

The internal support is mechanically and electrically isolated from the metal housing, being
coupled only by synthetic rubber. This provides vibration isolation of the sensing element.
Except for Type 8106, the hydrophones are equipped with an integral cable, the shield of
which is connected to the internal support/housing, thus providing electrical shielding for the
sensing element. Note that Type 8103 has its internal support and metal housing connected at
the plug end of the cable.

Frequency Response and Directivity Patterns

Typical frequency responses of the hydrophones are shown in Fig. 5. These are measured in
a water tank in free-field conditions achieved by means of pulse techniques using a PULSE™
based calibration system (see Fig. 7).

The hydrophones have very good omnidirectional characteristics. Typical directivity patterns
of the hydrophones in water are shown in Fig. 6. These polar directivity patterns were measured
in free-field conditions achieved by means of gating techniques in a water tank. This method
requires a standard hydrophone as a projector and the unknown hydrophone as the receiver
whose polar directivity pattern is to be determined.

Fig. 7 shows a PULSE-based system for calibration of the frequency response of hydrophones.
With additional components, the directivity pattern is also included. The system consists of a
front-end with generator and input modules, Power Amplifier Type 2713, Turntable Type 3922,
Turntable Interface Type 5997, Current Probe WB-1490 and a PC with software and Windows®
operating system. The principle is the well-known gating technique, where a tone burst is sent
out from the generator, amplified in the power amplifier and send to the projector (in this case
a Hydrophone Type 8104). The signal received from another hydrophone is amplified and the
time signal is shown on the PC monitor. A delay due to the distance between transmitter and
receiver and a gating period depending on frequency range and tank dimensions is set up in
the analyzer in order to analyse on a stable direct signal without transients or reflections. The
measurements are performed at specified frequencies and a complete calibration chart is printed
out. Directivity patterns can be found with software for the turntable. This system can be used
for reciprocity, comparison and impedance measurements, as well as the projector response.
For the receiving response, both magnitude and relative phase can be measured.

Sensitivity Calibration

Each Brüel & Kjær hydrophone is submitted to an extensive ageing and temperature stabilizing
procedure before being individually calibrated. Individual calibration data and frequency response
curves are supplied with each hydrophone. The receiving sensitivity calibration of the hydrophones
is traceable to international standards (DPLA, NIST, etc.).

A convenient calibration check at low frequencies can be performed using Hydrophone Cal-
ibrator Type 4229 (the sensitivity of a hydrophone is the same in air as in water for low
frequencies). This provides a rapid and easy method for air calibration of sound measuring

6
 systems terminating in Brüel & Kjær hydrophones. Type 4229 is battery powered and can be
used both in the laboratory and in the field.

The principle of operation of Type 4229 is the production of a sound pressure in the coupler
cavity by four pistons which oscillate back and forth in phase. A frequency of 251.2 Hz is
produced which is electronically maintained within ±0.1%.

Fig. 8 shows sectional drawings of the calibrator. The calibrator couplers are shown fitted with
their respective hydrophones. The typical sound pressure levels produced in the coupler volumes
are 166, 162, 151.5 and 152 dB re 1 μPa for Types 8103, 8104, 8105 and 8106, respectively.
Note that the sound pressure level in the coupler volume can be monitored with a ½″ micro-
phone (see inset of Fig. 8), thus enabling the calibration to be traceable to international standards
(DPLA, NIST, etc.).

Note: The coupler for Type 8106, WA-0658, is available separately. The other couplers are
supplied with Type 4229. An Insert Voltage Junction Unit WB-0850 can be used for insert
voltage calibration of Type 8106.

A barometer is supplied with Type 4229 giving the atmospheric pressure correction in dB in
the range 0.65 × 105 to 1.08 × 105 Pa (650 to 1080 hPa), that is, –3.85 to +0.55 dB.

Measurements

Before measurements are taken, the high-impedance output signals from Hydrophones Types
8103, 8104 and 8105 should be routed through a signal-conditioning amplifier. Although the
international standards call for calibration of the hydrophones’ voltage sensitivity (using a
voltage amplifier), it is often more practical to use a charge amplifier, which will result in a
charge sensitivity independent of the actual cable length. Although the entire Brüel & Kjær
range of accelerometer preamplifiers is suitable, Conditioning Amplifier Type 2635, Measuring
Amplifier Type 2525, or one of the NEXUS or PULSE charge input range is recommended.
These amplifiers feature sensitivity adjustment to give convenient output values (for example,
0.1 or 1 V/Unit) and have a wide frequency range, and adjustable low-pass and high-pass
filters. For technical details of these preamplifiers, please refer to their respective product data
sheets.

When using Type 8104 or 8105 with Measuring Amplifier Type 2525, BNC to TNC Adaptor
JP-0226 must be used. The built-in preamplifier of Hydrophone Type 8106 provides an output
signal which does not require further conditioning. Type 8106 can be directly plugged into
the preamplifier socket of the Brüel & Kjær range of measuring amplifiers and frequency
analyzers, with 7-pin Brüel & Kjær sockets, which supply the necessary voltages. Dual Micro-
phone Supply Type 5935 must be ordered with modification WH-3125 and requires an external
supply. Microphone Multiplexer Type 2822 must be ordered with modification WH-3127.

Use as Projectors

Typical transmitting 8105

response to voltage of
Types 8103, 8104 and
trical output, and conversely, an applied alternating
8105 130 8104

voltage causes corresponding mechanical excitation.
Therefore, Hydrophones Types 8103, 8104 and 8105
120 (but not Hydrophone Type 8106 because it also in-
cludes a built-in preamplifier), can be used as sound
110 transmitters (projectors), for both measurement and
reciprocity calibration. Transmitting responses to voltage
100 for Hydrophones Types 8103, 8104 and 8105 in water
are shown in Fig. 9. Note the 12 dB/octave slope which
5 10 20 50 100 200 50
kHz is typical for piezoelectric hydrophones driven with
950980e
constant voltage input.

When hydrophones are used as projectors, the driving signal requires power amplification.
Brüel & Kjær Power Amplifier Type 2713 is especially suited for driving Hydrophones Types
8103, 8104 and 8105 as projectors, but is also useful for driving other highly reactive loads.
Type 2713 is a low-noise 100 VA power amplifier with a frequency range extending from
10 Hz up to 200 kHz, and a gain continuously adjustable between 0 and 60 dB over six 10 dB
ranges. It also features selectable maximum output voltage limits, as well as extensive protective
functions to prevent damage to both the amplifier and the transducer.

Measurements in Air

Hydrophones are particularly useful for measurements under extreme environmental conditions
that could damage ordinary microphones or affect their performance, such as very high humidity
and temperature, or polluted atmospheres.

Hydrophones may also be used for measurement of extremely high sound pressure levels.

Please note that Type 8103 is quite sensitive to acceleration (up to 115 dB/ms–2 when vibrated
axially and up to 128 dB/ms–2 when vibrated perpendicular to the hydrophone axis. As always
for hydrophones the dB reference pressure is 1 μPa.

Typical receiving response in air for different hydrophones types are shown in Fig. 10.

Cables and Connectors

Special care has been taken in the production of Brüel & Kjær hydrophone cables in order to
obtain good electrical shielding. This enables the hydrophones to be used in air and in water
tanks where the electrical potential of the water is different from the ground potential, as well
as in cases of high electromagnetic interference.

Miniature Hydrophone Type 8103 is fitted with 6 m integral double-shielded cable terminated
with a Brüel & Kjær Miniature Plug JP-0056. In cases of high electromagnetic interference, a
metal screen can be clamped onto the metal support. This support is connected internally to
the outer shield of the cable which is in turn connected to the inner shield of the terminating
plug end of the cable.

Hydrophones Types 8104 and 8105 have integral 10 m cables (AC-0034) fulfilling MIL-C-915.
These are fitted with BNC plugs. For use at greater depths (up to 1000 m with Type 8105),
MIL-C-915 standard extension cables of up to 300 m are available to order. These can be fitted
to the hydrophone’s integral cable with Brüel & Kjær Waterproof Connectors JP-0415 (male)
and JJ-0415 (female). Pictorial assembly instructions are provided with each male or female
connector set. We recommend that the male connector (JP-0415) is fitted to the cable on the
hydrophone (Fig. 11).

Hydrophone Type 8106 is supplied without a cable. A 10 m Cable AO-0390 (a 10 m length

of AC-0101) mounted with a watertight Connecting Plug JP-0735 and a Brüel & Kjær 7-pin

9
 Plug JP-0717 is available for direct connection to the preamplifier socket of older Brüel & Kjær
measuring amplifiers and frequency analyzers. For connection to PULSE™ or NEXUS™, an
additional conversion cable WL-1260 should be used. The Connecting Plug JP-0735 fits the
7-pin female connector (corresponding to the Jupiter connector series 10 M) which is an
integrated part of the hydrophone’s bronze support.

For use of Type 8106 at depths greater than 10 m, Hydrophone Cable AC-0101 can be supplied
in continuous lengths of up to 300 m. This cable is a screened, 4-core cable with built-in
Kevlar® reinforcement. AC-0101 can tolerate high loads – 1300 N in service, with a breaking
load of 2600 N. This makes the cable strong enough to be self-supporting for measurements
at ocean depths of 1000 m. Despite the strength of the cables, we recommend the use of some
form of strain release for long cables or in cases where there is risk of cable movement.
