What is a Geophone?
Geophones detect vibrations that travel through the ground, converting them into electrical signals, making them crucial for vibration monitoring in construction, rail, and environmental monitoring.
Geophones are sensors used to measure ground vibration and movement. They detect vibrations travelling through the ground and convert them into electrical signals, making them essential for vibration monitoring in construction, rail, blasting, and environmental assessments.
In this video, we explain:
- What geophones are and how they work
- How geophones are used in vibration monitoring
- Why they’re important in construction and environmental assessments
If you’re involved in vibration monitoring, environmental assessment, or acoustic consultancy, understanding how geophones work is essential. Want to explore more acoustics and vibration terminology? Visit the AcSoft Ltd Knowledge Hub for practical guides, FAQs, and the full acoustics glossary.
