Product Description

AML-3 Sound Velocity Profiler 500m (100dBar) (Rental)

The AML-3 Sound Velocity Profiler (500m / 100 dBar) is a compact, field-proven instrument designed to deliver precise sound velocity profile (SVP) data for a wide range of hydrographic and oceanographic applications. Built to support accurate multibeam sonar performance and underwater acoustic positioning, this profiler is ideal for operations in shallow to mid-depth waters up to 500 meters.

Manufactured by AML Oceanographic, the AML-3 SVP utilizes Xchange™ sensor technology, allowing users to easily replace or recalibrate sensors in the field without the need to return the unit to the factory. This innovative, plug-and-play approach reduces downtime and enhances operational efficiency during demanding survey missions.

The standard AML-3 configuration includes a sound velocity sensor, but it can be expanded with additional sensors such as pressure, temperature, conductivity, salinity, or turbidity to meet specific data collection needs. The 100 dBar pressure sensor included in this model enables accurate depth tracking for mid-water profiling with high resolution.

Key Features:

• Depth rating: 500 meters

• Integrated 100 dBar pressure sensor

• Modular with Xchange™ field-swappable sensors

• High-accuracy sound velocity profiling for sonar correction

• USB and serial interfaces for flexible data access

• Compatible with AML SeaCast software for live data and post-processing

• Lightweight and rugged – ideal for deployment from small boats, tripods, or winches

• Data format compatible with most sonar and navigation software packages

Whether you’re supporting a multibeam echosounder survey or conducting acoustic positioning, the AML-3 SVP (500m, 100 dBar) provides the data reliability and flexibility required for modern marine survey operations.
