Lubell LL9162 blue transducer in a black shock mount cage

Overview

The LL9162 is a high power, full range pistonic piezoelectric transducer made by Lubell Labs. It is intended for scientific and military uses, including harbour defence, and it also works as an underwater loudspeaker or a hydrophone.

Its rugged PVC and stainless steel construction withstands extreme conditions. The cable plugs into an underwater pluggable bulkhead connector, so the operator can replace it in the field.
