Product Description

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

The AML-3 Sound Velocity Profiler (SVP) is a rugged, compact solution designed for precise water column profiling in oceanographic, hydrographic, and environmental survey applications. With a depth rating of 500 meters, the AML-3 delivers high-accuracy sound velocity measurements, critical for ensuring data integrity in multibeam echosounder and subsea acoustic positioning operations.

Engineered by AML Oceanographic, the SVP is built to perform in harsh marine conditions. Its modular design supports quick sensor swaps in the field, thanks to Xchange™ sensor technology, which allows users to easily replace or recalibrate sensors without returning the unit to the factory. This flexibility reduces downtime and streamlines survey workflows.

The standard configuration includes a sound velocity sensor, but the AML-3 can also be customized with additional sensors for temperature, pressure, salinity, conductivity, or turbidity — making it a versatile instrument for a variety of data collection needs. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for use on small boats, autonomous platforms, and towed systems.

Key Features:

• Depth rating: 500 meters

• High-accuracy sound velocity profiling for sonar correction

• Supports multiple sensors using Xchange™ technology

• Modular and field-swappable sensor design

• Compact and lightweight for easy deployment

• USB and serial data communication

• Compatible with AML’s SeaCast software for real-time data viewing and post-processing

• Ideal for multibeam sonar sound velocity correction and water column analysis

Whether you’re performing shallow coastal surveys or offshore mapping, the this SVP ensures your sonar and acoustic positioning systems are calibrated with the most accurate velocity data available.
