Product catalog summary
Overview of AIRMAR's Chirp-ready Transducers
AIRMAR's Chirp-ready transducers offer significant advantages in marine technology by covering up to 117 kHz of bandwidth, allowing for enhanced fish detection in the water column. These transducers provide superior resolution, enabling precise separation between baitfish and gamefish, and offer improved bottom fishing capabilities by resolving targets close to the bottom or near structures. They also enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, facilitating fish detection and bottom tracking at high boat speeds.
Benefits of Thru-Hull Transducers with High Performance Fairing
Thru-hull installations are optimal for vessels 25 feet and longer, as they position the transducer face in "clean" water below the boundary layer, reducing turbulence and allowing tracking at speeds over 30 knots. These installations ensure effective signal return by minimizing interference from the vessel's components.
Chirp Transducer Frequency Options
AIRMAR offers a variety of frequency combinations to suit different fishing needs:
  • Dual Band: Low/High (LH), Low/Medium (LM), Low/High Wide (LHW), Low Wide/Medium (LWM)
  • Single Band: Low, Medium, Medium Ultra Wide (MW), High, High Wide
Low frequencies (e.g., 42-65 kHz) provide greater depth range and coverage, while high frequencies (e.g., 130-210 kHz) offer greater detail and are ideal for shallower waters. Medium frequencies (e.g., 80-130 kHz) balance depth and resolution.
Transducer Models and Specifications
Several models are available, each with specific frequency ranges and maximum depths:
  • B265LH: Low (42-65 kHz), High (130-210 kHz), max depth 3000 ft
  • B265LM: Low (42-65 kHz), Medium (85-135 kHz), max depth 3000 ft
  • B275LHW: Low (42-65 kHz), High Wide-Beam (150-250 kHz), max depth 3000 ft
  • R109LH: Low (38-75 kHz), High (130-210 kHz), max depth 6000 ft
  • R509LH: Low (28-60 kHz), High (130-210 kHz), max depth 10000 ft
Each model is designed for specific boat sizes, hull types, and engine configurations, with features like depth and fast-response water-temperature sensors.
Chirp Technology Advantages
Chirp technology offers a broader frequency range compared to traditional sounders, enhancing target detection, detail, and range resolution. AIRMAR's wide beam Chirp transducers maintain a fixed beam width across the frequency band, providing extensive coverage under the boat and revealing more fish in the water column.

Thru-Hull Chirp Transducers Unlock the true potential of your fishfinder with the superior quality and performance of an AIRMAR Chirp-ready transducer. B265LH screenshot courtesy of Furuno The Benefits of AIRMAR’s Chirp-ready Transducers • One broadband transducer covers up to 117 kHz of bandwidth – greater opportunities to detect fish in the water column Superior resolution – precise separation between baitfish and gamefish represented on the display with crisp images Enhanced bottom fishing – resolve targets close to the bottom or near structure/wrecks Amazing detail – recognize haloclines and thermoclines Improved signal to noise ratio – find fish and track bottom at high boat speeds AIRMAR®, DEFINING CHIRP TECHNOLOGY. Benefits of Thru-Hull Transducers with High Performance Fairing Thru-hull installations provide best performance compared with other installation options for many reasons. • The best performance on vessels 25 feet and up because the transducer face is in “clean” water below the boundary layer (bubbles running down the hull) • The fairing compensates for hull deadrise and reduces turbulence over the transducer face, which allows tracking at speeds over 30 knots (35 MPH) • When mounted in clean water (forward of propellers and running gear), thru-hulls produce the most effective signal return since nothing on the vessel interferes with t

Why does frequency matter? High Frequency = Greater Detail (ex. 130-210 kHz) Selecting the best frequency for your specific application is very important. The good news is that once you know what frequency will work best for the type of fishing you do, there’s an AIRMAR transducer designed to maximize the performance of your sounder. • More sensitive to small targets and will send back detailed information which will display as crisp, high-resolution images on the echosounder screen • Best for shallower water and popular with anglers fishing at depths less than 1500 feet AIRMAR Chirp transducers...

The Chirp Advantage Traditional sounders operate at only two discrete frequencies – typically 50 kHz and 200 kHz. This results in limited depth range, resolution, and ultimately what targets can be detected in the water column. In contrast, AIRMAR’s game-changing Chirp-ready transducers provide over 70+ kHz of bandwidth. Transmitting over a wide frequency band results in a greater o pportunity to detect what is in the water column. As a result, all targets detected in the entire bandwidth will be seen on the display–even those fish holding close to the bottom–ultimately improving target detection,...
