The Simrad ES80 is the fifth generation professional split-beam fish finder for the world wide fishing community. With the latest computer and signal processing innovations, this sophisticated and intuitive echo sounder operates at frequencies ranging from 10 to 500 kHz. Coupled with a suitable transducer, the ES80 can perform frequency sweeps ('chirps') across a range to capture detailed underwater information.
The Simrad ES80 is the most modern “high-end” split beam echo sounder in the professional fishery market.
Based on more than 60 years of research and development in close collaboration with fishermen and leading marine scientists, this wideband echo sounder system has succeeded the famous ES60 and ES70 systems. Simrad has manufactured fish finders for over 65 years, and we have more than 25 years of experience with split-beam technology.
Our first split-beam fish finder, operating on 38 kHz, came on the market in 1984. A 70 kHz system quickly followed it. Today, we can offer a wide range of operational frequencies from 18 kHz, used for detecting deep water species, up to 333 kHz, used for finding and measuring plankton. The Simrad ES80 is the fifth-generation professional split beam fish finder for the worldwide fishing community. We have designed it to satisfy the increasing need of our demanding customers: "Top performance at any depth and easy to operate”. The latest innovations in computer and signal processing techniques are used to create a sophisticated but also intuitive echo sounder.
