Product catalog summary
Overview of AIRMAR’s Chirp-ready Transducers
AIRMAR’s Chirp-ready transducers offer significant advantages for fish detection and sonar imaging. They cover up to 117 kHz of bandwidth, providing superior resolution and enhanced bottom fishing capabilities. These transducers improve the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for effective fish detection and bottom tracking at high speeds.

Benefits of Tilted Element Transducers
Tilted element transducers are designed to compensate for hull deadrise, ensuring the sonar beam is aimed straight down. This design maximizes echo returns and eliminates the need for a fairing. They have a low-profile design, making them suitable for trailered or lifted boats, and are available in stainless steel and bronze.

Frequency Selection and Performance
AIRMAR transducers are available in various frequency combinations, including dual and single bands. Low frequencies provide greater depth range, while high frequencies offer greater detail. Medium frequencies offer a balance of depth and resolution. The choice of frequency depends on the specific fishing application.

Features and Specifications
The transducers include depth and fast-response water-temperature sensors and are compatible with various hull types and engine types. They are recommended for boats up to 36 feet and are available in different tilted versions to accommodate various hull deadrises.

Mounting Options
Mounting options depend on the hull design and material, intended boat use, and desired performance level. Proper installation with tilt compensation is crucial for accurate depth readings and strong echo returns.

The Chirp Advantage
Chirp-ready transducers transmit over a wide frequency band, improving target detection, detail, and range resolution. Wide beam Chirp transducers provide even more coverage under the boat, revealing more fish in the water column.

Conclusion
AIRMAR’s Chirp-ready transducers are designed to enhance sonar performance with high accuracy and reliability. They should be used as aids to navigation alongside traditional navigation aids and techniques.

Tilted Element Chirp-6

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,...
