It picks up the vibrations travelling through water and turns them into sound you can listen to on headphones or record. Whales, dolphins, rivers, bubbles, a boat passing in the distance: a whole world you never hear from the surface!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I make my microphones by hand, and the question I get most often is: \u201chow do I choose the right one?\u201d So here's everything you need to know, no fuss, with sounds to give you an idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Manalive Audio hydrophone placed in a stream, between moss and running water\" class=\"wp-image-5796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-999x1499.jpg 999w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC05456-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the explanations, the best thing is to listen. Put on some headphones, it's far more impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls preload=\"none\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HYDROPHONE-RAW_1.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Raw clip recorded with our hydrophone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls preload=\"none\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/pont-en-vibration-avec-eau-1.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cBridge vibrating with water\u201d, a recording by Valentin Maugain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a hydrophone work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Underwater, sound travels about 4 times faster than in air: nearly 1,500 metres per second, against 340. And it carries much further. The problem is that a regular microphone isn't made for this. Even slipped into a waterproof bag, it hears almost nothing: the sound bounces off the boundary between water and air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A hydrophone solves this problem. Inside, there's a piezoelectric capsule, a small element that produces an electrical signal when the water's vibrations compress it. On our hydrophones, this capsule is protected by a waterproof acoustic gel: the mic stays waterproof while keeping as much frequency range and sensitivity as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Capture-decran-2025-08-10-a-19.04.14.png\" alt=\"Typical frequency response of the Manalive Audio hydrophone: piezoelectric capsule from 20 Hz to 80 kHz, resonance peak around 4 kHz\" class=\"wp-image-5440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Capture-decran-2025-08-10-a-19.04.14.png 580w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Capture-decran-2025-08-10-a-19.04.14-300x113.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Typical frequency response, measured on 10 of our hydrophones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The result: from 20 Hz to 80 kHz, with a resonance peak around 4 kHz. And since the capsule is passive, there's no need for 48 V phantom power!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you hear underwater?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Far more than you'd imagine! Pebbles rolling along a river bed, rain pattering on the surface, a boat engine in the distance, fish nibbling at bait, dolphins, whales\u2026 One of our customers even tested it with \u201ca small valve guitar amp, a big glass of water and a straw\u201d. His verdict: \u201cit works great\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sound designers, nature recordists, artists: what they do with it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hydrophones go to very different people, and each uses it in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For sound designers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's a real texture generator! Bubbles, swirls, rumbles, metal ringing underwater: sounds no regular microphone picks up, and that you won't find in ready-made sound libraries. Dip an object into a basin, rub it, make it vibrate, and sample the result to build your own sound library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the accessories, the playground gets bigger: the magnet on a metal sheet, the suction cup on a window, the spike in the ground. And since the mic goes up to 80 kHz, you can slow your recordings down without them turning dull (more on that below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/en\/microphones-sound-design\/\">Our microphones for sound designers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For nature recordists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Underwater, wildlife can't be seen, but it can be heard. Gaby Mu\u00f1oz, a Colombian filmmaker based in Barcelona, took our hydrophone out to sea with pilot whales. Corto SPM listened to a pod of dolphins, and Allan Linares recorded the bubbles of a salt marsh releasing gas at low tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pilot whale swimming just below the sea surface\" class=\"wp-image-7257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ManaliveGMG12-999x562.jpg 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gaby Mu\u00f1oz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You don't have to go to sea, though: a pond or a river is enough.

Passive or powered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hydrophones need a power supply. Ours are passive: you plug in, and that's it. You do, however, always need a device that amplifies the signal, as with any microphone. Plugged straight into a phone or a computer, it won't work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/en\/use-hydrophone\/\">See which devices work with our hydrophone<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Frequency range\u2026 and your recorder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hydrophone goes up to 80 kHz, well beyond human hearing, which stops around 20 kHz. To keep those ultrasounds, your recorder has to keep up: at 48 kHz it records up to 24 kHz; at 96 or 192 kHz it captures much higher. Handy for dolphin clicks, or for slowing a sound down in sound design without it turning dull!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

You need a phone interface, such as the Smart Rig II, with a recording app. To simply listen at sea without recording, a small amp like the HoneyTone Amp does the job nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How deep can it go?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The mic is 100% submersible. In practice, the cable length decides: 3 or 8 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it work in salt water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, in fresh water as well as salt water, hot or cold. Just remember to rinse it in fresh water after every trip to the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you hear fish?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Slip some bait into the Bait accessory: fish come and nibble all around, and you hear them up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to listen underwater?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hydrophone is handmade in France, tested before shipping and rated 4.9\/5 by our customers.
