Echonautics CB131H1KW

1kW High Frequency CHIRP Transducer

Echonautics is the result of a joint venture between an American company specialized in transducers design and an Italian manufacturer of marine electronics since 1985, born to offer a high-quality range of transducers ready to deliver to boat manufacturers worldwide.

Echonautics offers a range of CHIRP bronze thru-hull transducers for today’s sportfishing vessels and sonar systems, delivering superior depth capabilities, enhanced bottom detail, better detection and separation of fish targets, and superior performance at higher vessel speeds.

To accommodate a full range of electronics, vessels and fishing applications, this Echonautics Series includes Medium Frequency CHIRP (80-130kHz) 600W, High Frequency CHIRP (130-210kHz) 600W, Medium Frequency CHIRP (85-135kHz) 1kW, and High Frequency CHIRP (130-210kHz) 1kW. This series of high-tech transducers is designed to provide eye-opening sonar performance that helps serious anglers find and catch more fish, whether trolling for offshore pelagic gamefish or targeting deep wrecks, reefs, and ledges.

Each of these CHIRP transducers can be paired with an optional Echonautics fairing block, custom engineered to deliver superior fish and structure detection and bottom tracking at higher vessel speeds. This series provides a high-performance CHIRP option for a variety of popular sonar systems. Unlock the fish-finding power of your boat’s sonar system with a 600W or 1kW CHIRP transducer by Echonautics.

All transducers come with a 8 meter (26.0 feet) cable and standard Echonautics connector, simply elect the required adapter cable, connect together and install as normal.

The CHIRP Advantage

Traditional marine echosounders operate at set frequencies (50 or 200kHz, for example) and transmit a short-duration pulse to display targets under the boat that can be identified by the specific frequency being used. CHIRP sonar (which stands for Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) emits a sweep pattern of many frequencies within a long-duration pulse. As a result, the sound energy delivered underwater is up to 1,000 times greater than conventional sonar — providing better deep-water penetration, improved fish detection and target separation, enhanced bottom detail and better sonar performance at higher vessel speeds. CHIRP sonar performance can be further enhanced by selecting a transducer style and CHIRP frequency range that best matches the vessel, water conditions, depths fished, and target species. For this reason, Echonautics offers a range of CHIRP transducers in Low, Medium, and High CHIRP frequency ranges. Our experts can help you find the ideal CHIRP transducer and frequency range to maximize your fishing success. 

Mix and Match Adapter Cables

Echonautics transducers come with 8-meter/26-foot cables and standard 8-PIN Male connectors. One-meter/3.3-foot adapter cables are available through Echonautics.

• CBCCMS0501 Adapter Cable: Male 8-PIN black box connector (Seiwa, SI-TEX, Lorenz, JMC, Polar, MPS and JRC-Europe FF-901)
• CBCCMS0503 Adapter Cable: Female 8-PIN Garmin connector
• CBCCMS0502 Adapter Cable: Male 9-PIN Navico connector (Lowrance, Simrad, B&G)

These mix-and-match adapter cables make it simple to integrate high-performance Echonautics transducers with popular sonar systems from leading manufacturers.
