Product catalog summary
Overview: The Airmar M563 is an external-mount, dual-band transducer designed for shallow and coastal surveys and scientific research. It features two broadband arrays that minimize ringing, providing sharp acoustic pulses and excellent clarity. The transducer is suitable for mounting on various hull types and offers a streamlined shape to minimize drag.
Key Features:
  • Two broadband arrays for improved clarity and resolution.
  • Narrow beams and low sidelobes for clear bottom detail.
  • Matching transformers for a pure, resistive load.
  • Mountable on towed bodies or directly on wood, steel, or fiberglass hulls.
  • Seamless SEALCAST™ urethane housing for durability.
  • Exclusive Xducer ID™ technology and high precision temperature probe.
Dual-Band Chirp-ready: The M563 transducer offers low-ringing and excellent sensitivity, supporting discrete frequencies, broadband CHIRP, or coded waveforms. It is available with low-band and high-band frequency options.
Options:
  • Custom impedance specifications using matching transformers.
  • Low-band frequency range: 25 kHz to 45 kHz.
  • High-band frequency options: 80-130 kHz, 130-210 kHz, 160-260 kHz.
Technical Specifications:
  • Weight: 10 kg (22 lb).
  • Acoustic Window: Urethane.
  • Housing Material: Cast urethane.
  • Cable Type: C-44-02 with three shielded twisted pairs.
Performance: The transducer provides different beamwidths and power levels across its frequency configurations, ensuring optimal performance for various applications.
Note: Specifications are subject to change as Airmar improves its products. The M563 is designed to aid navigation and should not replace traditional navigation aids.
