Transform your TZtouch3 fishfinder into a professional-grade deep water sonar system with the Deep Impact DI-FFAMP high-power amplifier – delivering up to 300% more power for unmatched bottom structure clarity and fish target detection down to 3,000 meters.

Unlock Deep Water Fishing Performance

The Furuno Deep Impact DI-FFAMP represents the pinnacle of recreational fishfinder amplification technology. This commercial-grade 2kW/3kW power amplifier seamlessly integrates with your NavNet TZtouch3's internal 1kW TruEcho CHIRP™ system, boosting performance by up to 300% for serious anglers who demand maximum depth penetration and target resolution in challenging deep water environments.

Advanced TruEcho CHIRP™ Technology

Deep Impact's dual-channel TruEcho CHIRP™ technology combines the benefits of both CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radiated Pulse) and traditional CW (Continuous Wave) signals in a single, powerful package. Operating across an 18-225kHz frequency spectrum, this advanced sonar processing ensures strong, clear return signals even at maximum depths, providing exceptional fish target separation and detailed bottom composition analysis.

Key Performance Features:

• High-Power Output: 2kW-3kW amplification with 12-24 VDC compatibility
• Extended Depth Range: Maximum operational depth of 3,000 meters (9,842 feet)
• Dual-Channel Processing: Simultaneous high and low frequency CHIRP operation
• Enhanced Target Definition: Superior fish arch clarity and bottom structure detail
• Expandable Power Options: Compatible with 5kW/10kW transducers via optional BT-5 booster

Marine Industry Compliance & Safety

The DI-FFAMP meets stringent marine electronics standards for recreational and commercial vessel installation. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in harsh marine environments, while the integrated safety features protect both the amplifier and connected equipment from power surges and environmental hazards.

Installation Considerations:

• Professional installation recommended for optimal performance
• Adequate ventilation required for continuous operation
• Proper grounding essential for interference-free operation
• Compatible with existing NavNet TZtouch3 installations

Advanced Fishfinding Capabilities

Bottom Discrimination Technology:

Deep Impact's enhanced signal processing reveals detailed seafloor composition, distinguishing between mud, sand, rock, and vegetation with unprecedented clarity. This bottom discrimination capability proves invaluable for structure fishing and habitat identification in deep water environments.

Fish Target Enhancement:

The amplifier's high-resolution CHIRP processing provides superior fish target separation, clearly distinguishing individual fish within schools and accurately displaying fish size relative to depth. Enhanced target definition ensures you won't miss subtle bite opportunities in challenging conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the DI-FFAMP work with older Furuno displays?

A: The Deep Impact DI-FFAMP is specifically designed for NavNet TZtouch3 displays (12", 16", and 19" models) and requires the internal TruEcho CHIRP™ fishfinder for proper operation. It is not compatible with earlier NavNet generations.

Q: What's the maximum depth capability in real-world conditions?

A: While the maximum theoretical depth is 3,000 meters, actual performance depends on water conditions, bottom type, and transducer selection. In typical offshore fishing conditions, expect excellent performance to 1,500-2,000 meters with appropriate transducer matching.

Q: Is professional installation required?

A: While experienced marine electronics installers can handle the installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper integration with your existing NavNet TZtouch3 system, appropriate power supply connections, and optimal transducer performance.

Q: Can I use my existing transducer with the DI-FFAMP?

A: Compatibility depends on your current transducer's power rating and frequency range. The DI-FFAMP works with various Furuno CHIRP transducers. For 5kW and 10kW transducers, the optional BT-5 Power Booster is required.

Q: What's the difference between CHIRP and traditional sonar?

A: CHIRP technology transmits a sweep of frequencies rather than a single frequency, providing significantly better target separation, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and enhanced bottom discrimination compared to traditional single-frequency sonar systems.

Q: How does the Deep Impact improve upon the built-in TZtouch3 fishfinder?

A: The DI-FFAMP amplifies the TZtouch3's 1kW internal fishfinder to 2kW-3kW, providing up to 300% more power for deeper penetration, clearer returns in challenging conditions, and enhanced target resolution at extreme depths.

Professional Deep Water Advantage

When serious fishing demands serious equipment, the Furuno Deep Impact DI-FFAMP delivers the professional-grade sonar performance that separates successful anglers from the competition. This amplifier transforms your NavNet TZtouch3 into a commercial-quality fishfinding system capable of revealing fish and structure that standard recreational sonars simply cannot detect.

Experience the difference that commercial-grade sonar technology makes in your fishing success – the Deep Impact DI-FFAMP brings professional fishfinding capabilities within reach of serious recreational anglers who demand the ultimate in deep water performance.

Deep Impact DI-FFAMP High-power TruEcho CHIRP™ Fishfinder Amplifier

The “Deep Impact” DI-FFAMP, a new, high-power TruEcho CHIRP™ Fish Finder Amplifier, designed specifically to work with NavNet TZtouch3. This 2kW or 3kW TruEcho CHIRP™ Fish Finder amp gets you down to the deepest waters to find your catch. Deep Impact boosts your power to a 2/3 kW CHIRP Fish Finder. But if that’s not enough, Deep Impact allows you to connect a 5kW or 10kW transducer with the BT-5. 

The system marries CHIRP and CW signals to ensure that as you go deeper, your echoes come back strong and clear.

Features:

• Works with TZtouch3 Internal Fish Finder to amplify it to a 2/3kW TruEcho CHIRPTM Fish Finder
• Capable of using a 5kW or 10kW transducer (BT-5 required, actual output power from DI-FFAMP is 3kW)
• Utilizes both CHIRP and CW signals to ensure strong and clear signals in deep water
• 2 Channel TruEcho CHIRP, 18-225kHz with a maximum depth of 3,000 meters
