GS-30CT
Feature

IThe 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 } 2%

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.
