R2Sonic 2022 Multibeam Echosounder
Availability: Rental, Sale
The Sonic 2022 is a compact wideband shallow water multibeam echosounder, suitable for a wide variety of general mapping applications. As with the higher resolution Sonic 2024 system, the Sonic 2022 provides over 20 selectable operating frequencies to chose from within the 200 to 400 kHz band, with unparalleled flexibility to trade off resolution and range and controlling interference from other active acoustic systems.
In addition to selectable operating frequencies, the Sonic 2024 provides variable swath coverage selections from 10° to 160° as well as ability to rotate the swath sector. Both the frequency and swath coverage may be selected ‘on-the-fly’, in real-time during survey operations.
