Sitex B164-12-CX 1KW 50/200KHZ 12 Deg Tilted Element

The Sitex B164-12-CX 1KW 50/200KHZ 12 Deg Tilted Element is a dual-frequency transducer purpose-built for serious anglers and commercial operators who demand precise target definition across shallow and deep water columns. This SI-TEX transducer element serves as the active sonar heart of modern fish-finding systems, delivering the raw acoustic performance needed to distinguish structure, baitfish, and bottom composition in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. Whether you're working offshore drop-offs, navigating coastal channels, or surveying lake depths, this tilted-mount element integrates seamlessly into existing SI-TEX echo sounder installations.

Operating at 1 kilowatt peak output across dual frequencies—50 kHz for deep-water coverage and 200 kHz for near-bottom detail—this transducer element delivers high-resolution imagery regardless of fishing depth. The 12-degree tilted mounting geometry optimizes beam spread and reduces dead zones directly beneath the hull, critical for accurate reading of suspended fish and substrate hardness in the critical zone where most strikes occur. SI-TEX engineering ensures stable acoustic output and reliable frequency switching, with the element weight of 12 pounds providing mechanical stability in rough sea states while remaining manageable for retrofit or repositioning operations.

This transducer element suits commercial fishing vessels, charter operations, and dedicated sport anglers running SI-TEX display units. Installation requires hull mounting with proper through-hull coordination and cable routing to your compatible SI-TEX sounder; consultation with dealer specifications ensures correct orientation and sealed installation. Anglers upgrading from single-frequency systems will immediately recognize the advantages of dual-frequency capability—the 200 kHz frequency cuts through thermoclines and delivers crisp bottom definition, while 50 kHz penetrates deep structure and targets offshore species with reliable signal return even in demanding sea conditions.
