In order to respond to underwater acoustics market’s demand aiming for cost-effective devices, French-based company RTSYS has developed off-the-shelf low-power acoustic recorders called SYLENCE-LP.
Two recorders were developed: a smaller one named SYLENCE-LP 220 (22 cm high, 35 days of autonomy) with one fixed hydrophone, and a longer one also known as SYLENCE-LP 440 (44 cm high, up to 180 days of non-stop recording) with one fixed or loose hydrophone.
While being cost-effective, RTSYS managed to give these recorders large bandwidth (up to 256 kHz) and memory (2 Tb on 4 nano SD cards).
SYLENCE-LP recorders will help offshore engineers and scientists reliably monitor underwater life up to 250 meters depth, while being affordable. These recorders will be displayed at Oceanology International in London on stand J551.
