A hydrophone away is used to measure spatial distribution in underwater sound field and to detect incoming direction of sound waves in the ocean. It is not usually convenient to handle the hydrophone away because of its extensive scale. And it is not easy to purchase the hydrophone away because of expensive price. A hydrophone logger combined with a hydrophone and data logger was developed to consist conveniently of a hydrophone away for use to receive underwater sound waves. And a hydrophone array system with the hydrophone loggers was developed. Main configurations of the hydrophone 1o99er and the hydrophone array system are introduced in this paper. Also we present some measurement results by the hydrophone logger in a water tank and measurement examples on ambient noise in the sea by the hydrophone away system. And we discuss some advantages in use of the hydrophone array system.
