Benders

Low-frequency sound projector

GeoSpectrum’s M21 benders, or flexural disk transducers, are highly versatile underwater acoustic projectors that produce moderate power over broadband and high power near resonance. M21’s come in a variety of sizes serving a wide range of resonance frequencies and bandwidths. GeoSpectrum can custom design M21’s to be tailored for each customer’s unique requirements such as resonance frequency, bandwidth, or depth capability.

M21’s are excellent options to be combined into multi-bender sources that are highly customizable to a customer’s requirement. M21’s can be used in a Modular Project System (MPS) to produce greater power and bandwidth at even lower frequencies, or in conventional arrays to produce a directive, high-power source.

Individual M21’s can be custom designed to achieve resonance frequencies ranging from 400 Hz to 12 kHz and higher. A selection of standard M21 designs are also available.
