Advanced CHIRP Sonar Performance for Axiom Chartplotters

The Raymarine RVM1600 RealVision Black Box Sonar takes marine fish-finding technology to the next level with RealVision MAX and 1kW broadband CHIRP sonar. Designed for serious anglers and marine professionals, this sonar module delivers unparalleled depth penetration, high-contrast imaging, and advanced underwater visualization.

RealVision MAX technology enhances fish detection with faster ping rates, improved CHIRP signal processing, and upgraded transducers for extended range performance. Whether you need DownVision, SideVision, 3D sonar, or traditional CHIRP, the RVM1600 provides crystal-clear imaging of fish, structures, and underwater terrain—helping you locate and track fish with pinpoint accuracy.

High-Definition Underwater Imaging

• CHIRP DownVision®: Delivers photo-like images of underwater structures and fish, providing exceptional detail.
• CHIRP SideVision®: Expands visibility with port and starboard coverage, revealing fish and underwater formations with remarkable clarity.
• RealVision MAX 3D: Offers a dynamic 3D perspective, allowing you to see below, behind, and to the sides of your vessel.
• 1kW CHIRP Sonar: Provides deep-water tracking, detecting fish at depths greater than 400 feet (123 meters) and bottom structures beyond 1,200 feet (366 meters).

Enhanced Fish-Finding Capabilities

With high-contrast sonar color palettes, the RVM1600 improves target separation, making it easier to distinguish fish from the surrounding water column. The transducers are upgraded with a powerful 600-watt High CHIRP frequency, ensuring stronger target returns and deeper range performance.
