Furuno FCV1200BB Black Box Sounder
$4,590.00
Furuno FCV1200BB Black Box Sounder is a dedicated black box sonar processor with selectable 1kW, 2kW, or 3kW output and Furuno Free Synthesizer frequency control. It suits wheelhouse installations that want a high-power sounder connected to an external marine monitor.
Overview Furuno FCV1200BB Black Box Sounder
Furuno FCV1200BB Black Box Sounder is a professional black box sonar designed for installations that use a separate marine monitor and want the sounder processor mounted out of sight. It supports Selectable 1kW, 2kW, or 3kW and 15/28/38/50/88/107/200 kHz via FFS so the operator can tailor sonar performance to different depths and target conditions.
This model fits commercial and serious offshore installations that prefer a black box sonar core with separate display. In the source data, its core strengths are Furuno Free Synthesizer, Bottom Hardness, A-Scope, Frequency Mix, and deep-water range scales, which make it a strong option when the vessel needs a serious dedicated sounder rather than an all-in-one display.
Key Features
- Black box architecture: Lets builders pair the sonar core with a separate monitor suited to the wheelhouse layout.
- Selectable high-power output: Supports 1kW to 3kW transducer systems for demanding offshore or commercial use.
- Wide Free Synthesizer frequency range: Gives the operator more control when tuning the sounder for species, depth, and bottom conditions.
- Deep range capability: Supports very large range scales for deep-water applications.
- Professional sonar modes: Adds Bottom Hardness, A-Scope, and Frequency Mix for more detailed interpretation.
Applications
- Commercial fishing boats and serious offshore vessels that want a dedicated black box sonar processor.
- Wheelhouse installations where an external marine monitor is preferred over an integrated display.
- Deep-water sounder work that benefits from higher power and wider frequency control.
