Overview4.5Hz Series geophones belong to the low-frequency series, primarily including four models: 4.5B1, 4.5C1, 4.5D, and 4.5F. Models 4.5B and 4.5B1 are standard-sensitivity types, 4.5C1 is a high-sensitivity type, and 4.5F is designed for high spurious-frequency environments. Suitable for geophysical exploration, engineering vibration monitoring, and handheld vibration meters.
