Seismic Seismic Source DX6-160dB 3 Channel Digitizer

The DX6-160 Digitizer is a high-performance seismic digitizer designed for autonomous monitoring and managed real-time seismic acquisition. The system provides up to 160 dB of dynamic range using dual-gain acquisition technology where each sensor channel is digitized twice at different preamp gains.

The DX6-160 supports autonomous deployment anywhere at any time using integrated GPS timing and onboard memory. It can also operate as part of a managed network using Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular data modems, or StarLink communications for real-time monitoring and remote control.

Designed for long-term seismic monitoring and field acquisition, the DX6-160 supports geophones, hydrophones, microphones, and accelerometers while providing SEG-Y output, data harvesting, and optional IoT-based real-time connectivity through SecureConnect.
