A marine vibrator that in a particular embodiment includes a substantially
elliptically shaped outer shell, a driver having a first and second end,
at least one outer spring connected between the first end and the second
end of the driver, and at least one inner spring connected between the
first end and the second end of the driver. One or more masses are
attached to the inner spring. At least one transmission element connects
the outer spring and the outer shell. The outer and inner springs and the
masses attached to the inner spring are selected to generate a first
resonance frequency and a second resonance within the frequency range
between 1 Hz and 300 Hz.
