If those are a piezo on the end of a cable, the high gain from the recorder
will also amplify any capacitance changes in the cable - the piezo has a very
high impedance. bottom line is the cable becomes part of the pickup system
which isnt very desirable. Better option is to buffer the piezo and include all
the phantom power IN the hydrophone body itself.
