The Simrad S2016 Echosounder combines a single-channel Broadband Sounder™ module with CHIRP technology, a 16-inch widescreen display and intuitive keypad-driven operation.

The integrated single-channel Broadband Sounder™ module with plug-and-play transducer port is compatible with Simrad and Airmar transducers equipped with blue 7-pin connectors. Adapters are available to allow easy and cost-effective retrofit of existing Simrad, Airmar, and other third-party transducers.

The S2016 also includes CHIRP technology which utilizes frequency-swept sonar pulses to deliver higher resolution, improved target separation and greater image clarity than traditional sonar at all depth ranges.

Heave compensation eliminates the vertical effects of wave action from sonar depth measurements, enhancing the accuracy and consistency of bottom tracking in rough conditions. This feature requires a compatible NMEA 2000®-connected satellite compass such as the Simrad HS60 or Simrad HS70 in order to provide real-time heave data. The White Line feature clearly separates the water column from the bottom with a high-contrast white line for enhanced bottom visibility, while White Marker allows any user-selected colour from the fish finder image to be replaced with high-contrast white to highlight specific sonar echoes corresponding to fish or other targets of interest. Colour Erase allows any selected colour to be blended into the background, eliminating unwanted noise or unimportant features from the display.

The S2016 is capable of recording sonar history to a full-sized SD memory card, which may be easily inserted and removed via a waterproof access hatch on the front panel. Recorded sonar logs may be used with the cloud-based Insight Genesis™ service to create custom fishing charts, or BioBase GIS software to create detailed aquatic bathymetric and vegetation maps for survey and research purposes.

Other devices may be networked via the S2016's Ethernet, HDMI, NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183® ports enabling additional functionality such as mirroring, waypoint marking and depth sharing with compatible devices.
