Knudsen CHIRP 3260 Rack Mount Echosounder Systems are the next benchmark in scientific sub-bottom profilling echosounders. The CHIRP 3260, is a high power deep water system capable of reaching serious depths up to 10,000m plus. The next generation system replaces the earlier well respected Knusden 320BR echosounder. The CHIRP 3260, a blackbox system housed in a 5U rackmount case for rackmount case for shipboard installation on the rack interface to computer via a USB connection, and is supplied with SounderSuite Windows application software. The CHIRP 3260 incorporates the latest in digital processing technology and specialized chirp and correlation processing algorithms to enhance sub-bottom depth capability.

Available in 2 and 4 channel configuration. The versatile system in particularly well suited to multiple survey roles and includes a wide range of bathymetric frequencies. Most commonly configured for the low frequency combination of 3.5/12kHz, the CHIRP 3260 is designed for full ocean depth requirements where high power output is required.

  • Up to 4 channel systems
  • Use from 3.5 kHz 10kW to 210kHz 300w
  • 3260 capable of multiping transmission
  • Correlation processing
  • Heave compensated grey scale records
  • USB interfaces
  • Standard interface to all modern survey tools including GPS, data loggers and heave compensators

Knudsen CHIRP Systems are the next benchmark in scientific sub-bottom profiling echo sounders. The CHIRP portable system, a blackbox system which interfaces to your computer via a USB connection, incorporates the latest in digital signal processing technology and includes Knudsen Sounder Suite Windows application software and chirp and correlation processing algorithms to enhance sub-bottom capability. The unit, housed in a rugged, light weight splash proof case is ideal for easy transport to changing project locations, and installation on open survey launch platforms.

Available in a 2 or 4 channel configuration, the versatile system is particularly well suited to multiple survey roles and includes a wide range of both bathymetry and sidescan frequencies for both shallow and deeper depths.
