Product Description
Underwater recordings of the sea recorded with one or two hydrophones.
Geophony and anthrophony underwater sounds: sounds of the waves, shallows, deep sea, port, harbour, diving, ship, sea traffic and other. Underwater ambiences and textures.
Note that the background crackling of the sea is present in the majority of the recordings.
All recordings are recorded with Aquarian audio H2-a XLR hydrophones and Sound Devices field mixer (preamps are Lundahl input transformers for warmth of the sound). Special suspension for the hydrophones is used to avoid (handling) rumble. For “stereo” recordings hydrophones were spaced 1m apart to get some time difference (or Depth of field). There is a mono recordings recorded with one hydrophone too.
Max peak level is around -5dBFS. No compressors or dynamic tools were used in editing.
