A bstract The design of a standard hydrophone with a maximally flat (Butterworth) response in the frequency range 8.0 Hz‐1.0 kHz is described. The standard hydrophone has been developed primarily for calibrating line hydrophone arrays (seismic streamers) and marine seismic sources. The standard hydrophone has been used successfully during the past eight years for monitoring the output of a single air gun. It can be used for the calibration of a marine seismic streamer.
