Airmar CM599C-LHW Chirp Wide Broadband - No Connector - Bare Wires

The Airmar CM599C-LHW Chirp Wide Broadband transducer is a high-performance dual-frequency sonar head designed for serious marine anglers and commercial fishermen who demand precision depth finding and water temperature monitoring in variable bottom conditions. This pocket or keel-mount transducer combines wide-beam coverage with robust 3000W power output to deliver reliable target detection across both shallow and deep-water applications.

The CM599C-LHW operates across two distinct frequency bands: Low (28–60 kHz) with a variable 9–23° beamwidth ideal for deep water scanning and structural imaging, and High (150–250 kHz) with a constant 25° beamwidth for shallow-water detail and hard-target definition. This dual-band flexibility allows operators to switch between frequencies depending on depth, bottom composition, and target type—critical for maintaining sonar clarity from a few feet to several hundred feet of water. The integrated fast-response water temperature sensor provides real-time thermal data without requiring a separate sensor, streamlining installation on vessels with space constraints. Supplied with bare wires for direct integration into existing marine electronics systems, this configuration eliminates connector compatibility concerns and allows custom hardwiring to match your specific survey or fishing platform.

This transducer is built for fishing guides, research vessels, commercial survey operators, and serious recreational anglers who integrate sonar into permanent or semi-permanent marine installations. The wide-beam design excels at finding structure, baitfish, and suspended targets across variable bottom conditions—from rocky shoals to sandy flats to deep channels. The 3000W power rating ensures strong signal penetration and rapid target acquisition, reducing the scanning time required to identify productive zones. Bare-wire configuration makes the CM599C-LHW a preferred choice for custom integrations where standard connectors would introduce failure points or compatibility delays.
