Acoustic transmitting antennas in the form of circular rings. Several circular rings which can be dismantled of a known type are superimposed in a stack. The stack is terminated at each end by two profiled annuli. The threaded tie-rods traverse the stacks of the pre-stressing keys of the rings by the intermediary of holes drilled in these keys. The threaded tie-rods make it possible to ensure the holding of the assembly. Two jackets, inside and outside, made of rubber, cover the inside and outside faces of the stack and are anchored in grooves formed in the profiled annuli. Thereby, annular transmitting antennas can be provided which can be dismantled entirely and whose active mass to inactive mass ratio is particularly large.
