Single and Dual-Frequency
This version of Airmar’s M163 is available in two configurations. The first packs a 28 kHz, 2 kW array in a compact, SEALCAST™ housing. The second configuration uses nine, ceramic elements that resonate at both 28 kHz and 50 kHz and results in a very compact, dual-frequency transducer. The 75 kHz, M163 features an efficient highly-sensitive 19-element array. Its design is easier and less costly to install than magno-restrictive transducers requiring steel tanks. Both configurations have very high-efficiency and sensitivity for their size, resulting in excellent deep-water performance. The 33 kHz, 200 kHz, and 210 kHz, dual-beam transducers have conical beam patterns and minimal sidelobes that provide accurate depth measurements in both shallow and deep-water.
