Les équipements nécessaires à la mesure sismique sont de trois types : les émetteurs (ou sources), les récepteurs et les systèmes d'acquisition. Le rôle de la source est d'émettre une onde acoustique dont on connaît les caractéristiques (fréquences, durée, amplitude du signal) dans le milieu liquide. Le principe des récepteurs est de convertir l'onde acoustique en tension électrique. En sismique, on utilise deux types de récepteurs : les hydrophones piézo-électriques et les géophones, ou sismomètres. 2, record 3, French, - hydrophone%20pi%C3%A9zo%C3%A9lectrique
