SM-24HS Sensor High Sensitivity Geophone

The new Sensor SM-24HS (High Sensitivity) geophone, specifically designed for single unit recording, is based on the
field proven, rugged and reliable Sensor SM-24.

With only 1.3 mm larger diameter than the standard SM-24, and weighing only 86 grams, it is the smallest and lightest
high sensitivity geophone on the market. This smaller mass significantly prolongs life expectancy in the field. At the
same time the SM-24HS provides identical sensitivity and damping specifications when connected to a recording
system.

Sensitivity and Damping are affected by string configuration and recording system load. The geophone Distortion
specification is the maximum value over the 10-degree tilt angle, geophones typically perform better within the given
tilt specification range.
