An acoustic dipole waveform generator has a hollow housing defining an elongate axis and having secured therein at least a force reaction member defining at least a force reaction surface and having hingingly secured thereto an actuator element. The piezoelectric actuator elements define mutually non-aligned length change axes and extend from the reaction member towards at least one moveable piston member hingingly secured to at least one of the actuator elements inside the housing. The piston member is constrained to move in a direction extending perpendicular to the axis, the piston member defining respectively at mutually spaced locations in the housing a pair of heads that, on movement of the piston member, each generate a respective pressure wave and the housing permitting transmission of the wave externally thereby permitting generation of a dipole pressure waveform externally of the housing on changing of the lengths of the actuator elements.
