miniSVS Sound Velocity Sensors
miniSVS sound velocity sensors
 The miniSVS Sound Velocity Sensors use state of the art digital "time of flight" technology to provide the lowest noise, highest accuracy, best resolution sound velocity data available. Small size and a choice of sensor lengths down to just 25mm make the sensor suitable for a variety of applications, and the optional pressure or temperature sensor adds versatility. There is a choice of data formats to allow interface to existing systems. We will also consider OEM and custom designs.
Soundbar 2 Digital Bar Checker
SoundBar2 Digital Bar Checker
 The SoundBar 2 Digital Bar Checker offers a convenient, quick and safe method of obtaining sound velocity data for calibration of echosounders and other acoustic devices. Developed from the acclaimed miniSVS sound velocity sensor, the SoundBar 2 uses a digital time of flight technique that gives the most accurate sound velcoity data in the world. Coupled to a pressure sensor in a durable titanium housing, the SoundBar 2 is lowered through the water column, measuring the sound velocity as it goes. The display unit records this data and presents the mean sound velocity value over the profile, which may then be output in a variety of industry standard formats to the echosounder.
miniSVP Sound Velocity Profiler
miniSVP Sound Velocity Profiler
 The miniSVP is a new budget Sound Velocity Profiler, designed to make the best SV measurements in the world available to everyone. Featuring Valeport's unique acclaimed "time of flight" SV sensor, the miniSVP is available in either 500m rated acetal or 6000m rated titanium versions. A single C cell and large Flash memory allow hundreds of profiles to be recorded, and the pre-programmed profiling patterns allow it to be setup and deployed quickly and easily.
Monitor SVP Sound Velocity Profiler
Monitor SVP Sound Velocity Profiler
 The Monitor SVP has been developed from Valeport's world leading MIDAS SVP, utilising the exceptional digital time of flight sound velocity sensor and synchronised sampling technique, but packaged as a smaller, lightweight unit to suit small boat or shallow water applications.
MIDAS SVP Sound Velocity Profiler
MIDAS SVP Sound Velocity Profiler
 The MIDAS SVP is the new name for Valeport's renowned Model 650 Mk2 Sound Velocity Profiler, and it gives the most accurate Sound Velocity Profiles currently possible. As well as using the world leading digital time of flight sound speed sensor, this instrument also has a ±0.01% pressure sensor, and features Valeport's synchronised sampling technique to guarantee that all sensors are sampled at exactly the same point during a profile. Titanium construction and a large memory make it suitable for rapid profiling down to 6000m depth
MIDAS SVX2 Combined SVP/CTD
MIDAS SVX2 Combined SVP/CTD
 The MIDAS SVX2 is the latest version of Valeport's unique instrument. Recognising the conflict faced by users requiring the superior Sound Velocity data from an SVP, but still needing the Salinity and Density data from a CTD, the MIDAS SVX2 combines both technologies to give the best of both worlds. Now fitted with a 0.01% pressure sensor as standard, the SVX2 also uses synchronised sampling to ensure perfect profiles, and since the digital time of flight SV sensor is the most accurate in the world, it's also possible to compare the true sound velocity data with that generated by commonly used equations.
