Abstract
A seismic detector comprises a casing the lower part (10) of which is provided with a plurality of apertures (19). A hydrophone transducer (70) comprising an annular ceramic member provided with metallized surfaces (71,72) is mounted in the casing and defines with the casing an enclosure (65) which houses a geophone (60). The outer face (71) of the hydrophone transducer (70) is subject to the ambient hydrostatic pressure via the apertures (19). The bottom of the casing is provided with a protuberance (11) to which a spike (12) is attached. The seismic detector can work in both hydrophonic and geophonic modes.
