  Broadband (or BB) sensors are especially sensitive to low-frequency energy and are //broad//ly defined as any instrument capable of **reliably recording wave periods greater or equal to 10 seconds**. This makes them useful for the analysis and detection of teleseismic earthquakes as well as techniques involving ambient noise. The downside to broadband sensors is usually their cost, size, and fragility relative to short-period sensors.
--Broadband sensors are not especially suited for very high frequency analysis as most tend to have an upper sensitivity limit of ~~100 Hz (e.g. 200 Hz sample rate). For this reason **we do not recommend people record data above 250 Hz** as it is wasteful. If you need to reliably measure energy above 100 Hz one of the SmartSolo nodes is more suitable.
