Applied Acoustics - Delta Sparker
The Delta Sparker is the most powerful sparker available in the applied acoustics range and is intended for deeper penetration sub-bottom profiling. As a multi-tip sparker array, the Delta can be used in UHR multi-channel seismic surveys, utilising 24 or 48 channel streamers during geohazard assessment, construction projects or shallow target 2D exploration.
- Powerful sparker for deep penetration surveys
- Compatible with CSP-S12000
- 2.5m triangular tow frame, supplied with buoys
- Tow depth can be adjusted
- Replaceable electrodes for easy field maintenance
- Deepwater geohazard survey
