The CM599LM is a high-performance CHIRP transducer designed for serious commercial, charter, and tournament anglers. Offering 2-3 kW of power, this transducer provides exceptional bottom detection down to 3000 m (10,000’) with significantly improved detail and resolution, allowing you to distinguish between individual fish and underwater structures. It covers low frequencies from 28-60 kHz (23° to 9° beamwidth) and medium frequencies from 80-130 kHz (13° to 8° beamwidth), delivering up to 102 kHz of total bandwidth in one unit. The CM599LM is equipped with a urethane housing and is suitable for tank, pocket, and cavity mounts, offering great versatility for both inshore and offshore fishing, including deep-water canyon and sea-mount tracking. With a 15-meter cable and a solid fiberglass hull compatibility, this transducer is ideal for those looking to enhance their fishing experience with precise sonar data.

Traditional marine Fish Finders operate at discrete frequencies such as 50 kHz and 200 kHz, use relatively short-duration transmit pulses, and use narrowband sonar transducers. In contrast, CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radar Pulse) uses a precise sweep pattern of many frequencies within a long-duration transmit pulse from a broadband transducer. The equivalent sound energy transmitted into the water is 10 to 1000 times greater than a conventional marine Fish Finder. The echo energy returning to the transducer is likewise superior to that generated by a conventional transducer. The combination of CHIRP, a broadband transducer, and Furuno’s superior Digital Signal Processing, results in dramatically increased fish and bottom detection : TruEcho CHIRP™.
