Announcing The Powerful Simrad BSM-3 Broadband Sounder Module

EGERSUND, Norway - June 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Leader in the design and manufacture of world-class Simrad marine navigation, autopilot, radar, communications and fishfinding systems, announced today its next-generation sonar system, the Simrad BSM-3 Broadband Sounder with CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radar Pulse).

The Simrad BSM-3 is the most advanced Broadband Sounder on the market. Capable of reaching depths of 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), the BSM-3 has been engineered to provide unparalleled industry-leading target separation, clarity and resolution throughout the water column to locate fish both near shore and offshore.

The Simrad BSM-3 is optimised for use with the Simrad NS Series including the new NSS evo2 and NSO evo2 systems, the latest and best multifunction devices available from the brand. The BSM-3 is compatible with the Airmar range of transducers and is optimised for the new Airmar Wide-angle CHIRP transducer series, which provides more coverage and a 25-degree beam angle across the entire frequency range. It is designed to give recreational boaters and commercial fisherman the dependability and highest performance available in a sonar system.

Easy-to-use features such as bottom colour tracking and easy split zoom controls, as well as a selection of scroll speeds and transmit power settings set the brand’s sonar systems well above the competition. Encased in rugged aluminium housing with a waterproof access cover and easy-to-connect transducer plugs, the BSM-3 is easy to install. Users simply run cables and then connect them to their Simrad NS-Series multifunction device.

“Building on industry-leading CHIRP sonar technologies, the Simrad BSM-3 Broadband Echosounder with CHIRP gives anglers outstanding clarity and target definition,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. “Through constant research and development, Simrad has improved upon our already cutting-edge design by making the BSM-3 easier to use and install.”

The Simrad BSM-3 Performance CHIRP Broadband Echosounder with CHIRP can be purchased for a suggested retail price of €1599/ £1370 ( EX VAT). For more information on the Simrad BSM-3 or the brand’s entire range of marine electronics visit www.simrad-yachting.com.
