Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Dual Beam

Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar gives you the great bottom and structure definition of the single beam, as well as a second, wider 60˚ beam that’s looking specifically for fish. It even tells you which sonar beam the fish are in…the display shows fish in the narrow beam as solid, and fish in the wide beam as an outline.

Benefits: Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar

Dual Beam technology combines the superior bottom definition of a precision narrow beam and fish identification from a wide beam into one easy-to-understand image. With DualBeam, you’ll get:

  • Better bottom and structure definition with the narrow beam.
  • Greater coverage for Fish Identification with the wide beam.
  • More knowledge about fish location - fish in narrow beam are shown as solid fish symbols, fish in wide beam are shown as hollow fish symbols.
  • Easy to understand coverage – total coverage for fish is equal to the depth, while bottom coverage is equal to 1/3 the depth (i.e. in 30´of water, you’re seeing an area 10’ wide).
  • Choices of transom, trolling motor, inside hull “puck”, portable and thru-hull mounting transducer options.
How Humminbird Dual Beam Sonar Works

Precision 20°@-10db 200kHz down-looking center beam

  • Looks for fish and structure below the boat.
  • Wider coverage looks for fish outside the narrow beam, but still around the boat.
  • Narrow beam provides depth readings up to 1000’. Depth capability depends on product model.
*Your actual product depth capability depends on product model capabilities, transducer installation, water type, thermal layers, bottom composition and slope. Broad 60°@-10db 83kHz wide beam:
  • Wider coverage looks for fish outside the narrow beam, but still around the boat.
  • Wide beam provides depth capability* up to 1500’ on a 83kHz system, or 2500’+ on a 50kHz system.
*Your actual product depth capability depends on product model capabilities, transducer installation, water type, thermal layers, bottom composition and slope.
