QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar

(575 Fishfinders only)

Your Humminbird® 575 Fishfinder supports QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar. QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait and structure to the left and right of the boat over an area of the bottom that’s always equal to twice your depth. QuadraBeam PLUS™ finds more fish faster, and can even tell you where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the left, right or directly beneath your boat.

For structure directly below your boat, Quadrabeam PLUS™ uses a DualBeam PLUS™ 200/83 kHz sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide. The 20° center beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. The 60° wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.
