Hydrophones may be used for picking up of weak sound vibrations under water and the signal must be amplified by a high impedance hydrophone amplifier.
Hydrophones and amplifiers are used for studying underwater acustics and monitoring of sonar and communication sounds signals from dolphins, porpoises and whales.

Omnidirectional hydrophones receive signals from all directions with equal sensitivity, and are used for data telemetry from captive animals or stationary transmitters.
Directional hydrophones have higher sensitivity to signals from a particular direction, and are used in tracking and location systems to determine the direction of a transmitter.
Hydrophone cables attenuate the signal and are subject to noise influence from other electrical equipment.
