Description
The SP300-8 Sonarpoint is a long-endurance passive acoustic monitoring (L-PAM) recorder engineered for researchers, environmental monitoring programs, offshore energy, and marine conservation projects that require extended recording duration and precise sound source localization.
Designed for fixed and moored acoustic arrays, the SP300-8 combines high-capacity onboard storage, long deployment endurance, GPS-based time synchronization, and modular serviceability into a compact recorder capable of operating at depths up to 300 meters
Key Features- Depth rating :300m
- Long-endurance passive acoustic recorder
- GPS time synchronization
- Optional acoustic synchronization
- Up to 8 TB onboard storage
- SPIB-45Ah internal battery
- Supports external battery expansion
- Modular field-serviceable design
- Continuous underwater recording
- High-accuracy localization capability
Built for Long-Term Acoustic MonitoringUnlike standard passive acoustic recorders, the SP300-8 is designed for deployments where maximizing recording time is essential.
Its large internal battery and eight SD card slots allow researchers to capture months of continuous underwater sound while maintaining accurate timing for localization arrays.
Applications include:
- Marine mammal monitoring
- Fisheries research
- Ocean noise studies
- Offshore renewable energy monitoring
- Environmental impact assessments
- Long-term ecological monitoring
- Underwater sound source localization
High-Accuracy Localization
The SonarPoint platform is built around precise time synchronization for acoustic localization.
The SP300-8 supports:
- GPS time synchronization
- GPS repeater buoy synchronization
- Acoustic synchronization pingers
- Multi-recorder localization arrays
Accurate timing enables multiple SonarPoint recorders to determine the position, direction, and movement of underwater sound sources with exceptional precision.
Flexible Hydrophone Options
The SP300-8 supports multiple hydrophone configurations to match different monitoring applications.
Available options include:
- End-cap integrated hydrophone
- Free-field hydrophone
- Frequency response from 2 Hz to 250 kHz
These options allow the recorder to be configured for marine mammal studies, fisheries research, ambient noise monitoring, and underwater acoustic surveys.
Record More. Stay Longer.
The SP300-8 is optimized for deployments where endurance and storage capacity are critical.
Features include:
- Up to 8 TB onboard storage
- 8 removable SD card slots
- SPIB-45 Ah internal lithium battery
- Continuous recording for extended deployments
- Optional external battery support for deployments exceeding one year (configuration dependent)
The modular storage system allows users to configure recorder capacity while simplifying servicing and data retrieval after recovery
