Controllers

We know a thing or two about designing source controllers:

#1 Crew safety is always priority number 1.

#2 Energy penetration and high signal-to-noise ratio is paramount.

These two principles are ingrained in our engineering and manufacturing processes, and are the foundation of what make us the most trusted vendor for source controllers. That... and an amazing heritage.

In1969 Pelton Company (acquired by I/O in 2001) introduced the first solid state vibroseis controllers. One year later, Input/Output (I/O) released the SSS-200 and Synchrafone Series dynamite blasters. Today, the essence of these two companies is alive and thriving at INOVA, and evident in our Vib Pro HDand Shot Pro HD controllers.
