Why Sonar?
Making money is and will always be about decreasing costs while increasing performance. Sonar promises less fuel used, less by-catch, less damage to the fishery, and less time on sea reducing chances for injury.
- Less Destructive Practices - With the Omni sonar, it is possible to see the front, back, sides, and height of the school of fish to be caught. If the school is too large for a single net, Omni sonar allows the fisherman to first see that it is too large, and then allows him to fish only the back of the school reducing the chances of killing the balance of the school.
- Reduction in By-Catch - Based on signal strength and relative positioning of the fish school, it is possible for a fisherman to find only the species he is fishing. This means less by-catch and a more productive fishery.
- Longevity and Reliability - Outside of the hoist used to lower the sonar, the MAQ Omni sonar has no other moving parts, and with some of the vessels having had the same sonar for up to 20 years.
- Detection Range and Versatility - The Omni sonar is designed to find fish in shallow waters. With our 5° vertical beam, detection distance is 20 times the depth on soft bottom and 10 times the depth on hard (rocky) bottom. The 5° Vertical Beam allows for the best “near surface species” performance as well as superior near bottom shallow water detection.
- Time and Fuel Savings - The Omni can find schools of fish faster—the quicker a catch is located the sooner speed can be reduced. The Omni can approximate size/weight so that larger schools can be selected and smaller schools bypassed. It will allow a fisherman to select small schools of fish and track them so that multiple small schools can be combined in one drop of the net to maximize the catch size. This means reducing fuel costs and running time.
- Tech Support 24/7 - MAQ Sonar offers 24/7 Technical Support to Distributors and provides technical documentation support.

MAQ 22
22 KHz Sonar Features
- Low frequency operation for long range detection.
- Proven to find Tuna, Marlin, Mackerel, Sardine, Herring, Anchovy and other pelagic species.
- Selection of beamwidths as narrow as 6° in transmit and receive results in excellent performance when operating in shallow water, on near surface and near bottom detection. The unique qualities, of the narrow beam, means further detection distance at surface and in shallow water. Selectable Transmit power reduction to reduce reverberation and side lobe interferences

MAQ 60
MAQ Sonar 60 KHz Key Features
- Excellent mid range performance.
- Proven to find pelagic species.
- Beam widths as narrow as 6° in transmit means further detection distance at surface and in shallow water.
- Good detection of hard to find species.
60 KHz Sonar Features
- High enough frequency to find Mackerel and Tuna but low enough to avoid reflecting hard bottom. Excellent mid range performance.
- Proven to find pelagic species such as Tuna, Marlin, Squid, Mackerel, Sardine, Herring, Anchovy and Hake.
- Selection of beamwidths as narrow as 6° in transmit and receive results in excellent performance when operating in shallow water, in near surface and near bottom detection. The unique qualities of the narrow beams, means further detection distance at surface and in shallow water. Selectable Transmit power reduction to reduce reverberation and side lobe Interference.
- Good detection of hard to find species.

- Programmable tonnage readout, Pre-sets, Auto mark and many more
- True audio
- Optional Keypad Controller
MAQ 90
90 KHz Sonar – The highest-frequency MAQ Sonar ideal for difficult targets.
- Key Features
- Detect difficult targets.
- Surface and shallow water detection.
- Easily find pelagic species.
- Search near vessel.
90 KHz Sonar Features
- Proven to find pelagic species such as Tuna, Squid, Mackerel, Sardine, Herring, Anchovy and Hake.
- High Frequency makes it ideal for detecting the Mackerel species which has no swim bladder.
- The 90 KHz model has the optimal frequency to ensure minimal beam bending from surface air bubbles. Near surface bubbles cause lower frequency sonar beams to bend upwards whereas higher frequency sonar beams bend downwards. At a frequency of 90 KHz the beam bends neither upwards nor downwards.
- Better detection of difficult targets, better resolution.
- Facilitates searching near vessel.
- Selection of beam widths as narrow as 6° in transmit and receive results in excellent performance when operating in shallow water, in near surface and near bottom detection. The unique qualities, of the narrow beam, means further detection distance at surface and in shallow water. Selectable Transmit power reduction to reduce reverberation and side lobe Interference.
