ABSTRACT:
A twin-transducer seismic detector includes a hollow housing closed at each end by a diaphragm-type transducer. A deformable retaining member is pressed against the perimeter of each transducer. An adjustable force is applied to at least one of the deformable members to cause the member to flatten against the transducer. As the deformable member becomes flattened, it reduces the effective area of the transducer and hence alters its compliance and sensitivity. The applied force is adjusted so as to match the sensitivity of one transducer to that of the other transducer.
