E70665
Marine Electronics Specialist Insight: The RVM1600 (MPN E70665) is the high-performance heart of a modern offshore angling system. By utilizing **RealVision Max** technology, it delivers faster ping rates and significantly higher resolution than previous generations. It is the definitive choice for anglers who need to identify deep-water structure and separate bait from predators at depths where standard sonars begin to lose clarity.
Deep Water Precision with RealVision Max
The Raymarine RVM1600 (MPN: E70665) is a powerful 1kW remote sonar module designed to unlock the full potential of Raymarine's **Axiom 2 Pro** and **Axiom XL** displays. Featuring the latest RealVision Max signal processing, the RVM1600 provides stunningly clear imagery of fish-holding cover and the underwater environment. This module is capable of driving high-performance transducers to reveal 3D structures, SideScan, DownScan, and high-frequency CHIRP sonar simultaneously.
Engineered for the serious offshore enthusiast, the RVM1600 utilizes an advanced digital receiver to eliminate noise and sea clutter, providing a "high-definition" view of the water column. Whether you are vertical jigging over a wreck in 300 feet of water or scouting a shelf edge in the deep blue, the RVM1600 ensures you have the target separation and depth penetration required to find and stay on the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need this module if I have an Axiom 2 Pro?
The Axiom 2 Pro has built-in sonar, but the RVM1600 (MPN E70665) is required if you want to add RealVision Max capabilities to an Axiom 2 XL or if you wish to run a dedicated 1kW high-power setup alongside RealVision 3D transducers on a complex network.
2. Is this compatible with older RealVision 3D transducers?
Yes. While you get the best results with the newer "Max" transducers, the RVM1600 is backward compatible with the standard RV series transducers via an adapter cable (sold separately).
