To get a wide stereo image, the minimum spacing for omni microphones is about 40 cm. To get an equivalent stereo image with an omni hydrophone you need a minimum spacing of about 2 meters (because sound travels 4-5 times faster in water): thomasrexbeverly.com/products/hum...

Historically, most underwater recordings are made in mono. That works well for researchers. But stereo, quad, and 3D setups are possible...and the spatialization makes the listening experience SO MUCH BETTER. Here are a few setups I used in Hawaii. Listen here: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/haw...

I now understand why the Roger Payne' s"Songs of the Humpback Whale" album sold 100,000 copies in the 1970s. These whales truly make music. 50 years later after that groundbreaking album, I've made some new recordings with modern hydros in a 3D array. Hear them: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/hum...
