Simrad, Norway, will launch its new SH90 high frequency sonar and ES70 split beam echo sounder in September.
Both the SH90 and ES70 build upon de facto industry standard systems, already used to improve catch efficiency aboard thousands of fishing vessels worldwide.
The high frequency SH90 is a complete redesign of the SH80 and includes new transducer, transceiver and signal processor, as well as system signal processing software.
It provides high resolution, making difficult targets such as mackerel, tuna and fish close to the bottom easier to detect than ever before. Sophisticated features of the SX90 include: linear FM transmission, horizontal and vertical views; "Tip" (tilt able 180° fan shaped beam); 360° stabilisation; dual mode (two sonars in one); recording and a simple, intuitive menu structure.
"In addition to improving on the SH80, the SH90 is based on the same platform as the SX90, which has sold over 140 units since its introduction in 2007," said Mads Dahl, Sales & Marketing Director, Simrad.
Simrad is also launching its next generation echo sounder, the ES70. It includes all the features of the ES60 and introduces a number of new and upgraded features, including intuitive menu structure with multiple languages for quick and easy to understand operation; automatic features such as range dependant pulse length, seamless auto range and screen history memory buffer; bottom detector; bottom hardness calculator; zoom window for fish size and fish volume, and fish plot view.
