SYQWEST HydroBox HD Dual Channel Hydrographic Echo Sounder

The HydroBox HD TM is a portable high- resolution, shallow water echo sounder. Designed for inshore and coastal hydrographic marine surveys up to 1000 meters of water depth. Extreme ease of use, portability, and cost efficiency make this device the perfect choice for shallow water hydrography. The sensor is extremely compact, interfaces directly to a standard laptop PC (interface software supplied) and is available with a light- weight and efficient acoustic transducer.
