EK single beam mapping echo sounders

The EK single beam mapping echo sounders are a part of the EK Family, which comprises a full range of acoustical products for scientific use. The EK family provides high-quality data of objects in the water column, high-resolution current profiling of the water column, and bathymetric data with high-performance seafloor and sediment backscatter.

The EK single beam echo sounders is designed for various hydrographic applications, offering high performance and reliability. These echo sounders support a wide range of frequencies, making them suitable for both shallow and deep water surveys. They feature advanced signal processing for excellent signal-to-noise ratio and range resolution, and they are compatible with a variety of transducers.

EK80 software

At the heart of the EK family is the EK80 software which processes and displays the data from the acoustic signals transmitted and acquired by the echo sounders and ADCPs.

Transceivers and transducers

The transceiver functionality is either mechanically integrated in the transducer, to significantly reduce the risk of electrical interference, or delivered as a standard WBT with a transducer cable between the transducer and the transceiver electronics.
