I received 4x hydrophones for an upcoming experiment. I plan on aligning them with element spacing of around 15cm, bring the frequency down to 1-5kHz. It wont have a transmitter making it listening device only. 

2 hydrophones

Hydrophones are going to be used with experiments of detection where underwater sounds are coming from. 

Beam pattern would look like

Frequencies below 5kHz and above 2kHz would give a reasonable direction ability. Whale songs is in this range.

So when weather gets better, I will take my EVO8 (channel sampler), my laptop, on a field trip to the local harbour.
