Airmar R599 Transducer Low Med Frequency CHIRP In-Hull

Overview

Who This Is For: Tournament anglers, charter captains, and serious recreational fishermen running larger center consoles or cabin cruisers who need professional-grade sonar resolution without the complexity of a full networked system. This transducer is built for anglers who fish deep structure, suspended baitfish, and need to separate game fish from forage at a glance.

Product Summary: The Airmar R599 is a heavy-duty in-hull CHIRP transducer that delivers dual-frequency coverage in one installation—low frequency for depth and structure, medium frequency for detail and target separation. You get up to 102 kHz of total bandwidth in a single transducer, meaning five to ten times more detail than conventional single-frequency units. Bottom detection reaches 3,000 meters, and the epoxy construction with 25 internal ceramic elements handles years of tournament-level use.

Key Features

• CHIRP Broadband Technology — transmits across a continuous frequency range (28-60 kHz low, 80-130 kHz medium) instead of a single frequency — you see individual baitfish and gamefish as distinct targets, not blurry clusters, and distinguish structure types with precision.
• Dual Frequency in One Transducer — covers both low and medium frequencies without running two separate units — saves installation time, money, and interior space while giving you flexibility to switch frequencies based on conditions and depth.
• Deep Water Capability — detects bottom and structure down to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) — critical if you're fishing offshore, in deep lakes, or targeting suspended fish at extreme depths.
• 25 Internal Ceramic Elements — high-element count delivers precise beam control and target definition — you'll see the difference between a rock pile and a brush pile, and spot aggressive fish holding on structure.
• Xducer ID Technology — automatic transducer recognition by compatible fish finders — eliminates manual setup and reduces installation errors on the water.
• 2-3 kW Power — sufficient output for reliable performance in offshore conditions, rough water, and deep structure without excessive noise or interference.

Specs & What's Included

Compatibility: This transducer works with Airmar-compatible fish finder systems that support CHIRP broadband transducers and Xducer ID recognition. Verify your fish finder's specifications before purchasing—not all units support dual-frequency CHIRP in-hull transducers. Not sure if this works with your setup? Call or text us at (833) 831-4077 — we'll tell you straight.

Installation: Hull deadrise tolerance is 0° to 22°, accommodating most recreational fishing boat hulls. All mounting hardware and installation tank are included. Bare wire configuration requires direct connection to a compatible control head—connector pigtails are not included.

In the Box: Airmar R599 transducer, all mounting hardware, installation tank. Connector pigtail and cable are not included—verify your fish finder's transducer connector type before ordering.
