Simrad releases next generation echo sounder
|
|
New Simrad ES70 improves catch efficiency
with multiple new features
|
|
|
Simrad, one of the world’s most recognized brands within
professional fishing electronics showed its brand new echo sounder,
the ES70, for the first time at the World Fishing exhibition last
fall. The new product is now shipping.
The new, high quality echo sounder system is based on the famous
Simrad ES60, which is presently the clear market leader in echo
sounders for the professional fishing industry, with over 3500
vessels using it to improve catch efficiency worldwide.
"With such a strong ES60 user-base, we have had to work very hard
to make the ES70 even better than its predecessor, and I believe
we have achieved that goal," comments Mads Dahl, Sales & Marketing
Director, Simrad.
"We have also had to consider the thousands of existing users, so
reflecting our long tradition of prioritizing existing customers
whenever a new product is launched, the upgrade path to the ES70
is very straightforward and cost-effective. We hope that the
majority of ES60 users will take advantage of this over the coming
months."

The new ES70 is an extremely flexible solution, as it can operate
with various different transceivers and transducers, from 18 kHz
up to 333 kHz as single beam or split-beam depending on the depth
requirements. It includes all the features found on the ES60, with
also a number of sophisticated additions and enhancements that
help to make it easier to use and to improve catch efficiency,
including:
- New user friendly operating software: intuitive menu
structure with multiple languages for quick and easy to
understand operation
- New automatic features: range dependant pulse length,
seamless auto range and screen history memory buffer
- New bottom detector: improved fish/bottom separation
performance
New bottom hardness calculator: more efficiency for fishing
including scallopers and other shellfish fisheries
- New zoom window: fish size and volume in user selected area;
move zoom area on screen to measure fish size and school density
on different targets
- New 3D fish plot view: Cone view presents the fish plot in
relation to vessel and depth.
"With the introduction of the ES70 echo sounder, Simrad
strengthens its position as the market leader in high end echo
sounders," continues Dahl.
"Many echo sounders on the market offer attractive feature sets
but it is much harder to match the high performance that the ES70
provides. With consistent and trustworthy performance, like its
predecessor, the ES70 is set to become a key tool for efficient
and sustainable fishery." |
