Product catalog summary
Overview: The Airmar M563 is an external-mount, dual-band transducer designed for shallow and coastal surveys and scientific research. It features two broadband arrays that minimize ringing, providing sharp acoustic pulses and excellent clarity. The transducer can be mounted on various hull types and is designed to minimize drag with its streamlined shape.
Key Features:
  • Two broadband arrays for improved clarity and resolution.
  • Narrow beams and low sidelobes for clear bottom detail.
  • Matching transformers for a pure, resistive load.
  • Mountable on towed bodies or directly on wood, steel, or fiberglass hulls.
  • Seamless SEALCAST™ urethane housing for durability.
  • Exclusive Xducer ID™ technology and high precision temperature probe.
Dual-Band Chirp-ready: The M563 transducer offers low-ringing and excellent sensitivity, supporting discrete frequencies, broadband CHIRP, or coded waveforms. It is available with low-band and high-band frequency options.
Options:
  • Custom impedance specifications using matching transformers.
  • Low-band frequency range: 25 kHz to 45 kHz.
  • High-band frequency options: 80-130 kHz, 130-210 kHz, 160-260 kHz.
Technical Specifications:
  • Weight: 10 kg (22 lb).
  • Acoustic Window: Urethane.
  • Housing Material: Cast urethane.
  • Cable Type: C-44-02 with three shielded twisted pairs.
  • Beamwidth and RMS Power vary by frequency band, with detailed specifications provided for each frequency range.
Important Notes: Airmar products are designed for high accuracy and reliability but should be used as aids to navigation, not replacements for traditional navigation techniques. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
