voltage to a 1 V rms reference, when the hydrophone sensor, without
a pre-amplifier, is placed in a plane wave acoustic field with an
rms pressure of 1 <greek-m>Pa. For example, a hydrophone of -160 Db
(reference 1 V per <greek-m>Pa) would yield an output voltage of
10<SUP>-8</SUP> V in such a field, while one of -180 Db sensitivity
would yield only 10<SUP>-9</SUP> V output. Thus, -160 Db is better
