Why Onda

Measurement you can trust.

Whether you characterise imaging transducers, validate therapeutic devices or run regulatory acoustic output tests: the result is only as good as the hydrophone behind it. Onda offers one of the broadest hydrophone portfolios in the industry, complemented by matching preamplifiers, scanning systems and calibration services.

  • Calibrated sensors for pulsed and continuous wave applications
  • Portfolio from broadband membrane devices to HIFU-capable sensors
  • Matching AH-series preamplifiers, mounts and accessories
Product range

The hydrophone portfolio

Six product families, one contact. We advise on selection, handle quotation and delivery, and support you through installation and calibration.

Membrane hydrophones

The recommended choice for pulsed-wave imaging applications that require a flat response over a broad bandwidth. Uniform sensitivity for accurate pulse reproduction.

Capsule hydrophones (HGL)

The HGL design bridges membrane and needle hydrophones: extremely flat sensitivity without a reflection profile that affects the acoustic field.

Needle hydrophones

Well suited for continuous-wave applications where interference patterns can arise. Ceramic-based HNC models offer the highest sensitivity for their size.

Fiber-optic hydrophones (HFO)

Designed for high-intensity fields such as HIFU, measuring acoustic pressure and temperature simultaneously.

Cavitation hydrophones (HCT)

Single-point hydrophone for true 3D acoustic mapping of ultrasonic and megasonic cleaning systems, paired with the handheld MCT meter.

Preamplifiers & accessories

AH-series preamplifiers with flat frequency response, low noise and waterproof design, plus mounts and adapters for Onda and third-party hydrophones.
