Simrad SX90 Now with Audio Output
A new software update for the Simrad flagship SX90 Sonar introduces audio output, enhanced noise filtering and a number of minor software fixes. The new software is flagged as an important update by Simrad and is available free of charge from Simrad dealers. Once installed, users need only to connect a pair of powered speakers to the SX90 computer to take full advantage of the new audio functionality.
The Simrad SX90 is a low frequency, high-definition, long range sonar. It uses two high-end computers to process data from the transducer, making it the most powerful Simrad sonar ever released. It is also the most powerful professional commercial sonar on the market today, which is reflected in the fact that over 120 SX90s have been sold since its introduction.
Though an excellent performer at shorter range, the Simrad SX90 sonar is specially designed for vessels where long range detection is important. The addition of audio output will enable skippers and crew to listen for echo returns as opposed to constantly keeping watch on the sonar screen.
We had audio output on the Simrad SP60, SP70 and SP90 sonars. Users who have upgraded to the SX90 have eagerly been awaiting this audio functionality, commented Mads Dahl, Sales Director, Simrad. He continued, the audio in a sonar contains as much information as the visual presentation, so for experienced users the addition of sound to the SX90 adds a whole level of detail that will help improve catch efficiency.
The new SX90 software update also enhances the noise filter functionality to improve the clarity of the on-screen images. With the software update installed, the noise filtering will take place on each individual receiver channel (as before), and also after the beamforming. The noise filter offers three settings; Weak, which does not effect targets, Medium, which is suitable for detecting schools of fish and Strong, which is recommended for users experiencing a problem with noise.
