For Etsy, indicative average price observed on the platform. Specifications provided by the manufacturers.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At \u20ac79.99, our hydrophone costs less than a JrF D-Series+ (about \u20ac82) and only slightly more than a hydrophone sold on Etsy (about \u20ac70 on average), which usually has a single plug and no accessories. On the other side, the Aquarian H2d comes to about \u20ac198 before shipping and taxes, and the Ambient ASF-1 MKII to about \u20ac1,788 including VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our microphones ship from France, and we deliver everywhere in Europe and around the world within 7 days. In the European Union, our prices include taxes: nothing extra to pay on delivery. Outside the European Union, import taxes may apply on arrival, as with any purchase from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, from the European Union, a JrF comes from the UK and an Aquarian from the US: VAT and import fees may then be added on delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessories: what really sets us apart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aquarian offers a contact microphone adapter. On our hydrophone, six heads screw on in a few seconds: the weight for sinking (supplied), the float, the magnet, the suction cup, the ground spike and the bait. And the same heads also screw onto our geophone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Manalive Audio hydrophone full pack: blue XLR cable and its 5 interchangeable accessories\" class=\"wp-image-7817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-1320x1650.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone-999x1249.jpg 999w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/pack-complet-accessoires-hydrophone.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hydrophone is passive: no power needed, it plugs into any mic input. The Aquarian H2d requires plug-in power or phantom power, the Ambient ASF-1 MKII 48 V. Nothing complicated with a field recorder, but worth checking before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plug and cable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Three plugs to choose from with us, in 3 or 8 metres. The JrF comes with a large jack and 5 metres of cable. Aquarian goes up to 15 metres, and Ambient supplies 10 metres of underwater cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to choose another model?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For scientific measurement<\/strong> : a model with documented sensitivity, such as the Aquarian H2d or the Ambient ASF-1 MKII.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>To go very deep<\/strong> : the Ambient ASF-1 MKII is rated down to 100 m.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>For the tightest budget<\/strong> : a hydrophone sold on Etsy may cost a little less, if a single plug and no accessories are enough for you.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose the Manalive Audio hydrophone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"mla-atouts\"><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Handmade and tested in France<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Three plugs to choose from: mini-jack, large jack or XLR<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>3 or 8 metre cable<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>No power needed<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Six interchangeable heads, compatible with our geophone<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Waterproof acoustic gel, from 20 Hz to 80 kHz<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"mla-pt ok\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Shipped from France worldwide, taxes included in the European Union<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Manalive Audio hydrophone with XLR plug, handmade underwater microphone\" class=\"wp-image-5471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-999x999.jpeg 999w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-50x50.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-96x96.jpeg 96w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr-460x460.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/xlr.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/en\/store\/hydrophone\/\">See the hydrophone versions and prices<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/en\/guide-hydrophone\/\">Hydrophone: what is it and how to choose one?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/manaliveaudio.com\/en\/geophone-comparison\/\">Geophone comparison: Manalive Audio, LOM and Leaf Audio<\/a><\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best hydrophone?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It all depends on the use. For field recording, sound design or creative work, a passive, versatile hydrophone that's easy to plug in is more than enough. For scientific measurement or deep diving, a calibrated professional model makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which hydrophone for beginners?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A passive model that plugs into a standard recorder without power, with a plug that matches your device. That's exactly why we offer three plugs to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a hydrophone sold on Etsy worth it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some are very well made.
