Lowrance Active Imaging HD™ 2-in-1 Transducer

Unlock Crystal-Clear Underwater Views with Active Imaging HD

Imagine gliding across the water, spotting fish hugging rockpiles or weaving through submerged timber before you even cast a line. The Lowrance Active Imaging HD 2-in-1 Transducer turns that vision into reality, delivering unprecedented detail in SideScan and DownScan Imaging. Operating at high frequencies up to 1.2 MHz, it paints photo-like pictures of the underwater world, separating fish from structure with razor-sharp precision. Anglers who demand the best in sonar performance swear by this upgrade, especially when paired with an existing CHIRP setup for all-around coverage.

Unlike standard imaging transducers, this 2-in-1 model focuses purely on high-res SideScan and DownScan, freeing up your boat's primary sonar for medium or high CHIRP frequencies. The result? Faster target identification in shallow waters, along shorelines, or over vast expanses where big fish hide. Whether you're chasing bass in weedbeds or walleye near drop-offs, the enhanced resolution reveals nuances that lesser units miss, like individual fish tails amid bottom clutter.

Standout Features That Set It Apart

• Ultra-High Frequencies: Choose from 455/700, 1000, or 1200 kHz for the sharpest SideScan and DownScan images, capturing details down to inches.
• FishReveal Integration: Overlays fish-holding spots directly on DownScan views, making it dead simple to spot active baitfish schools or solitary predators.
• Smart Transducer Design: Optimized beam patterns reduce noise and boost signal strength, even in choppy conditions or murky water.
• Transom-Mount Ready: Easy bolt-on installation with a sturdy build that withstands the rigors of serious fishing trips.
• Extended Reach: 25-foot cable ensures flexible routing to your display unit without signal loss.

These aren't just specs—they translate to more fish in the livewell. The high-frequency operation excels in shallows under 20 feet, where traditional sonar struggles, letting you probe tight spots like bridge pilings or undercut banks safely.

Why Anglers Choose This for Superior Fishfinding

Target separation is the game-changer here. Picture seeing a school of crappie suspended over a ditch, or pinpointing that lone striper ambush point amid standing timber. DownScan provides forward-facing clarity straight below your hull, while SideScan sweeps wide—up to 300 feet per side at lower frequencies—for efficient structure hunting. This combo covers ground quickly, ideal for tournament pros or weekend warriors scouting new waters.

In real-world use, users report spotting bottom composition changes—like switching from sand to gravel—that hold trophy fish. The 2-in-1 setup shines on multi-species boats, complementing your factory CHIRP without the hassle of swapping transducers mid-day. It's built tough for freshwater or saltwater, with corrosion-resistant materials that hold up season after season.

Pro Tips for Maximum Performance

• Run higher frequencies (1000/1200 kHz) for ultra-fine detail in clear water under 15 feet.
• Pair with FishReveal on your display for instant fish pop against subtle bottom hues.
• Mount slightly lower on the transom for cleaner DownScan reads, avoiding prop wash interference.
• Calibrate sensitivity seasonally—boost it in winter for lethargic fish signals.

Seamless Compatibility with Top Lowrance Units

Plug-and-play with HDS PRO series out of the box via its 9-pin connector. For HDS LIVE, HDS Carbon, or Elite FS setups, add an S3100 module for full Active Imaging HD support. This flexibility means no major overhauls—just bolt it on and watch your screen light up with HD detail. It's the smart add-on for boats already equipped with reliable CHIRP, elevating your entire sonar suite without redundancy.
