GEMINI-2 is a compact solution for HVSR, MASW and Vibration Analysis: a single waterproof case with an integrated low frequency, high performing 3D geophone assembly (2Hz) properly coupled sensors) and a powerful true 24 bit data acquisition board with USB port for external PC. Through Gemini USB interface and the related data acquisition software, your PC becomes a perfect, high performance instrument for both data recording and post-processing analysis. Created as an instrument mainly dedicated to HVSR measurements, GEMINI-2 can be used for other passive applications like vibration analysis. Completed with the appropriate accessories, it may become an active seismic acquisition system (3 channels + trigger) for MASW and "unconventional" applications.
