At the moment I'm working on a DIY hydrophone. I'll be using 21mm piezo ele=
ctric transducers as "contact mics", which I'll be securing inside a home b=
uilt enclosure - basically a length of 32mm plumbing tubing, with cut down =
end caps glued at either end. =0D

My recorder is an Olympus LS14, so I'm unsure whether it will need preamp o=
r something for the piezo transducers to give a decent enough signal for a =
good recording level.=0D

Anything else I need to consider? If I fill the interior of the enclosure w=
ith epoxy resin to make it waterproof, will that impact on the signal from =
the transducers?=0D
