Get more coverage under the boat with Airmar's new wide beam CHIRP product line. Offering a high frequency range of 150-250kHz and a constant 25 degree beamwidth, these transducers are truly broadband at it's best. In addition to improving the performance of CHIRP-ready echosounders, anglers using the new wide beam transducers will achieve twice the coverage under the boat compared to our current high frequency CHIRP transducers.
A unique property of the new high frequency transducers is that the beamwidth is a constant 25 degree angle across the entire frequency band. Traditionally, high frequency transducers have narrow beamwidths that change with frequency. Now, in addition to providing vast bottom coverage and precise fish detection in the upper water column that can sometimes go unseen with current narrow beam transducers, Airmar's new wide beam format also creates crisper and larger return images on the display.
Features
The Airmar R109C-LHW Transducer is a specialized component for marine vessels, designed to enhance the capabilities of CHIRP-ready echosounders. This unit provides a broad coverage area beneath the boat, utilizing a high-frequency range of 150-250kHz with a consistent 25-degree beamwidth, alongside a low-frequency range of 38-75kHz. It is engineered for improved target detection, particularly for baitfish and game fish in shallow to mid-water depths, typically between 300ft and 600ft. The R109C-LHW is suitable for sportfishing and commercial boats approximately 12 meters (40 feet) in length, with fiberglass, wood, or metal hull types. It integrates a depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor, and its urethane housing includes a stuffing tube and a high-performance fairing. This transducer is intended for IT and marine professionals seeking to upgrade or equip vessels with advanced sonar technology for more comprehensive underwater imaging.
The high-frequency band (150-250 kHz) maintains a constant 25-degree beamwidth across its entire range. This design provides consistent coverage for improved target detection.
The transducer includes 16 internal Broadband Ceramics, a depth and fast-response water-temperature sensor, a urethane housing, a stuffing tube, and a high-performance fairing.
This transducer is suitable for sportfishing and commercial boats approximately 12 meters (40 feet) in length. It is compatible with fiberglass, wood, and metal hull types.
The Airmar R109C-LHW is ideal for marking baitfish and game fish in shallow to mid-water depths, typically ranging from 300ft to 600ft.
