Since 1969, Lubell Labs has been manufacturing the world's most popular and powerful underwater loudspeakers. With their heavy-duty construction and documented broadband performance recognized by the US Navy, Lubell underwater speakers have become the top choice for professional sound engineers globally. The Lubell LL916C was selected over international competitors for use at the Sydney 2000 and London 2012 Olympic Games, the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games, and the Aquarius Underwater Habitat in the Florida Keys.

VC2C Underwater Acoustic Transducer

The Lubell Labs VC2C is an underwater acoustic transducer that operates in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 1500 Hz, with a maximum sound pressure level of 174 dB/uPa/m at 115 Hz. For optimal performance, the VC2C must be correctly pressurized while on the surface to balance the internal pressure with the external pressure at the intended operating depth.

Since the VC2C has a maximum current rating of 3A, it is advisable to install a Bussman AGC-3-R or AGC-4-R fast-blow 3AG fuse in the white signal lead fuse holder to protect the VC2C from burnout. Please note that sales of the VC2C are limited to marine scientists, laboratories, ocean engineers, and military personnel.
