High quality broadband sonar

The Koden KDS-6000BB and KDS-8000BB sonar models allow you to visualize the bottom and schools of fish in the best conditions. Their power of 1.5kW, over a frequency range of 130 to 210kHz, provides good sensitivity to distinguish species, thanks to a 0.1kHz step and digital signal processing. The theoretical range, under optimal conditions, of the KDS-6000BB reaches 1000 meters, while that of the KDS-8000BB is 1200 meters. The choice of pitch, from 5° to 20°, can be adapted according to the scanning speed.

Robustness and Koden know-how

Distributed in France by PST, a company with a strong presence in the professional boat market, the Japanese brand Koden enjoys a good reputation among professional sailors. It is at the origin of the appearance of the colour sounder and its technological know-how has been strengthened by the acquisition of Suzuki's sonar division. Known for its robustness, Koden equipment reduces technical failure problems. If necessary, the importer of the brand in France, PST, located in Toulouse, has an after-sales service and a stock of spare parts.
