GS-32CT
GS-30CT
Close Tolerance Geophone

The GS-30CT represents the ultimate refinement in geophone design to date. This new geophone is offering heretofore unattainable geophone-to-geophone uniformity, distortion reduced by a factor of 2.5 and tighter tolerance on geophone parameters:

New standard

Channel-to-channel uniformity and elimination of self-generated noise and distortion is the essence of seismic data. Towards this end, the performance of the GS-30CT is clearly unsurpassed. It is a field-proven match for the most advanced 24-bit Data Acquisition Systems.
