ShowDown 5.6 dual beam is the ultimate ice sonar

[Andy Loos1432404924]

Minneapolis, MN – Simple concept. Take the commonly circular display of a flasher-sonar unit and straighten it into a vertical readout that matches the water column. Now swap the noisy analog motor for a silent, high-resolution digital LCD. It’s the old record player versus MP3 debate. Ok, so this isn’t really a debate at all.

When the ShowDown Digital Fish Finder arrived on the ice scene several years ago, anglers suddenly had access to a whole new level of sonar technology—a 100% digital, high-speed liquid crystal ice system that offered a dazzling level of detail and performance. ShowDown’s economical price tag and simple display implied minimal functionality—an entry-level sonar only. The truth was, this new sonar player defied entry-level status, as beginners could immediately interpret its display while experts recognized the ingenious design. ShowDown performed at levels that exceeded the top-priced portable sonars on the market. Since its introduction, demand for the new technology has greatly expanded. Innovation has followed suit.

Still manufactured in the U.S.A., the new ShowDown 5.6 Dual Beam sonar offers the best of all worlds—1/2-inch target separation, MarCum’s patented Interference Rejection Software, infinitely adjustable zoom in 1-foot increments, and now, a dual-angle switchable transducer. With the option to instantly toggle between 8- and 20-degree cone-angles, anglers can widen their scan for shallow panfish, zero-in tight for deepwater lake trout, and any other ice fishing application in between. Also, a new higher-contrast display produces supreme viewing resolution.

“The ShowDown Dual Beam sets the standard for total sonar system performance,” says MarCum Technologies Brand Manager, Steve Hanson. “We’ve taken MarCum’s top-level patented features, and built them into all the new ShowDowns. The result is a machine that matches or exceeds every premium ice fishing sonar feature available today. More output power yields a clearer return signal and target separation down to an almost microscopic level. And with a new, more powerful 9-amp rechargeable battery, this dude hums along for up to 3 times longer than other ice-sonars. It’s clearly the most exciting technology going, offering the highest performance in the ice fishing world today.”
