Product catalog summary
Overview of AIRMAR's Chirp-ready Transducers
AIRMAR's Chirp-ready transducers offer significant advantages for detecting fish in the water column. They cover up to 117 kHz of bandwidth, providing superior resolution and enhanced bottom fishing capabilities. These transducers can distinguish between baitfish and gamefish, recognize haloclines and thermoclines, and maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio even at high boat speeds.
Benefits of Transom Mount Transducers
Transom mount transducers are ideal for small and trailered vessels where thru-hull installation is impractical. They are easy to install, perform well at speeds below 30 knots, and offer low-cost maintenance and replacement.
Frequency Selection and Performance
Choosing the right frequency is crucial for maximizing fishfinder performance. AIRMAR offers transducers in various frequency combinations, including dual and single bands. Low frequencies provide greater depth and coverage, while high frequencies offer detailed images for shallower waters. Medium frequencies balance depth and resolution, providing clear images at higher speeds.
Transducer Models and Specifications
AIRMAR offers several transducer models, each with specific frequency ranges and beamwidths. For example, the TM150M operates at medium frequency (95 kHz-155 kHz) with a maximum depth of 600 ft, while the TM165HW offers high frequency wide-beam (150 kHz-250 kHz) with a maximum depth of 350 ft. Each model is designed for specific hull types and engine systems.
The Chirp Advantage
Chirp technology provides a broader frequency range than traditional sounders, enhancing target detection and resolution. AIRMAR's wide beam Chirp transducers maintain a fixed beam width across frequencies, offering extensive coverage and improved fish detection.
Conclusion
AIRMAR's Chirp-ready transducers are designed to enhance fishfinding capabilities with advanced technology and a range of models to suit different vessel types and fishing needs. They provide high accuracy and reliability, serving as valuable aids to navigation.

Transom Mount Chirp Transducers-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,...
