AIRMAR Introduces New Chirp-Ready Cavity Mount Transducer for Commercial Fishing

November 20, 2020 By InTheBite Digital Editor

OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILFORD, NH. (November 19, 2020) – AIRMAR®Technology Corporation, a world leader in ultrasonic transducers and Chirp technology, is pleased to announce their CM510L Cavity Mount Transducer, a 3 kW Chirp-ready transducer with low frequency (25-50 kHz) Chirp capabilities. Ideally suited for commercial fishing applications where bottom discrimination and target resolution of bottom-fish species are critical to success, the CM510L includes the popular 28 kHz, 38 kHz and 50 kHz fishing frequencies, plus all other frequencies in the band. “We wanted to develop a comprehensive transducer for commercial fishing,” stated Jennifer Matsis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The CM510L delivers the most popular fishing frequencies in one housing, eliminating the need for multiple transducers on the boat. This one transducer delivers deepwater Chirp performance for vessels targeting deep bottom species, plus still has the best-in-class performance in the upper water column.” “I am really excited to be introducing the new CM510L to the commercial fishing industry here in South Africa,” said Craig Santer, General Manager of Airmar’s South African office. “Like other groundbreaking Airmar products we have introduced to this market, I can easily see the CM510L becoming a game-changing upgrade, particularly to the fleets of vessels that long line for hake during one season, then target tuna in the next. The CM510L will provide superior performance for both.” The CM510L operates in Chirp mode or on discrete frequencies, and includes a fast-response water temperature sensor. It also includes Airmar’s patented Xducer ID® technology, which enables the transducer to transmit important data about itself automatically to the connected echosounder. The CM510L is offered in a urethane housing designed for custom wet box external mounting.

Airmar Ultra Wide 2KW CHIRP Transducers Now Shipping

May 24, 2016 By InTheBite Editor

Screen Shot 2016-05-24 at 5.21.32 PMAirmar Ultra Wide, 2KW Chirp Transducers For The Sportfishing Enthusiasts Now Shipping
40-degree Beam Width Maximizes Coverage Under the Boat and Brings Back Sharper, Thicker Arches

Milford, NH. (May 24, 2016) – As CHIRP technology remains at the forefront of echo sounder development, AIRMAR Technology Corporation—experts in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of innovative ultrasonic transducers—today announced that the new line of ultra wide beam CHIRP-ready transducers designed just for sportfishing applications and tournament fishing is now shipping.
This new transducer series provides even more coverage under the boat; offering a 40 degree beamwidth which equates to 440 feet of beam coverage in 600 feet of water—nearly triple the beam coverage of original CHIRP-ready transducers.

Combining a low-frequency range of 40 to 60 kHz with a medium-frequency range of 80 to 130 kHz, this tournament series reveals more fish in the water column than ever before and is being reported by captains as the best transducer option. “I am very impressed and the more I use it, the more I like it. It is by far the best transducer I have used to date while fishing for sails in depths ranging from 200-1,000 feet. The results I’ve seen on the echo sounder are so fascinating, they should be in National Geographic,” says John Bayliss, Fisherman and Owner, Bayliss Boatworks.

Marine installers are also seeing a positive response to the new ultra wide series. “This season, I am seeing boat owners swap out existing ‘ducers for the ultra wide transducer, without having to pay thousands for a new install because the size retrofits existing PM111, R109 and CM599 models. The transducers I have installed thus far have been very well received and are quickly becoming the choice transducer for 2kW sounders,” said Joe Dieffenbach, Custom Marine Electronics, Stuart, FL.

In addition to getting more coverage under the boat and a wider beam, you get a nice combination of superior depth capability and maximum clarity. Now you don’t have to trade clarity for depth! AIRMAR first launched the revolutionary CHIRP-ready transducer product line with several dual-band offerings in August 2011. The Company has been adding innovative options to it ever since.
