Navico Active Imaging 2-in-1 Transducer with High-Resolution Sonar Technology

Active Imaging 2-in-1 Transducer

Active Imaging Transducers

• Active Imaging is a new scanning sonar technology that provides incredibly detailed, high resolution imaging sonar without sacrificing any range


• Active Imaging transducers accomplish this by better directing the SideScan beams which increases resolution and improves range performance

Active Imaging is available in two models

• The Active Imaging stand alone transducer lets the user combine the new Active Imaging transducer with a separate CHIRP transducer for dual transducer installs.


• Active Imaging operates at 800kHz or 455kHz with maximum ranges of 150ft (800kHz) or 300ft (455kHz)

Active imaging Technology

• Active Imaging utilizes the latest techniques in sonar signal generation


• Active Imaging transducers are constructed of a polymer that reacts to sound waves more closely to water. This ensures that no sonar signal is lost during transmit or receive


• Active Imaging transducers include separate sonar elements for SideScan transmit and receive Separating transmit and receive allows Active Imaging to have an incredibly fast ping speed (Ping speed directly correlates to image resolution). Additionally, these separate elements focus more of the sonar signal outwardly, increasing the sonar signal to the sides and leading to better range performance

Key Features:

• Active Imaging sonar offers no compromise high resolution detail to users


• 800kHz operation covers many use cases and ranges.


• With 800kHz range and resolution capabilities users do not need to choose between seeing in High detail or seeing far


• High resolution IPS screens of NSS evo3 and HDS Live show the full image, allowing the user to see the entire underwater environment


• Active Imaging transducers do not require any modules or extra hardware for use with next-generation displays

The Navico Active Imaging 2-in-1 Transducer (Part Number: 000-14490-001) offers advanced sonar capabilities designed for serious anglers and marine enthusiasts. Utilizing innovative Active Imaging technology, this transducer delivers highly detailed, high-resolution imaging sonar without sacrificing range, making it an excellent choice for comprehensive underwater exploration. The transducer’s ability to precisely direct SideScan beams enhances resolution and extends range performance, providing clearer images of underwater structures and fish targets. Its dual-mode operation at 800kHz or 455kHz allows users to tailor their scanning experience to specific needs, with maximum ranges of 150 feet at 800kHz and 300 feet at 455kHz, ensuring versatility across various conditions and applications. The construction features a polymer body that closely mimics water’s sound response, minimizing signal loss during transmit and receive cycles. Separate sonar elements for SideScan transmit and receive enable faster ping speeds, which directly translate into sharper, more detailed images, and increased sonar signal focus outward enhances range and clarity. This transducer is compatible with next-generation displays like NSS evo3 and HDS Live, requiring no additional modules or hardware for operation. Its physical design includes a 25-foot cable and multiple mounting options, such as transom, flush step, and jackplate, facilitating flexible installation on a variety of vessels. The transducer’s robust build supports operational temperatures from -15°C to +55°C (5°F to 131°F) and storage from -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to 158°F), ensuring durability in diverse environments. With a maximum depth rating of 300 feet for DownScan and SideScan, and operational speeds up to 9 knots, this transducer is suitable for both stationary and underway use, providing reliable, high-quality imaging in a compact, easy-to-install package.
