Sonar Lowrance Elite FS™ 9 with Active Imaging 3 in 1

Lowrance Elite FS™ 9 Sonar with Active Imaging 3 in 1

The new Elite FS™ sonar with the Active Imaging 3 in 1 transducer is a third-generation device from the Elite series, the successor to the very popular Elite Ti2 model. With it, you will easily and quickly locate fish hotspots as well as gather information about the substrate. Elite FS integrates cutting-edge technologies and the latest navigation features.

It offers state-of-the-art functions:
- ActiveTarget Live Sonar – displays high-resolution real-time images of fish movements in much greater detail. With this immediate feedback, anglers can adjust lure presentation and also discover if more active fish are in the area;
- Active Imaging 3 in 1 – the sonar provides superior clarity and the highest resolution images of both fish and the substrate;
- FishReveal – effectively combines traditional 2D sonar imagery with StructureScan and DownScan. It's easier to identify fish and get a better picture overall. In short, it enhances the on-screen image;
- C-MAP Genesis Live Mapping – a social map of user-generated data from freshwater and saltwater systems worldwide. The advantage of Genesis lies in the ability to download high-detail charts with precise contour intervals for systems already mapped by other Lowrance users. Genesis also lets you record your own sonar data, upload it to a cloud-based social map, and start seeing details in areas not previously mapped.

The new device offers a much-improved image and visualization, as well as better separation of scanned objects and details visible on the screen. Additionally, Elite FS features a highly responsive touchscreen, instant reaction to every touch, a Wi-Fi wireless network allowing two displays (for monitoring information from two different locations under the boat), smartphone integration (for call and SMS notifications), as well as compatibility with electric trolling motors and Power Pole Integration – ideal for shallow waters.

The images provided by the Active Imaging 3 in 1 transducer (CHIRP technology combined with DownScan and SideScan, plus 2D vertical and 1D and SideScan lateral sonar/scan) maximize the Elite FS’s efficiency for fish detection. See substrate structure at a new level of refined detail thanks to 3-in-1 Active Imaging™ technology with CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan with FishReveal™. Get the best CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging™ on one screen with FishReveal, a Lowrance exclusive that helps you easily recognize fish near structure and covers in high-detail DownScan images.

Fish smarter when you know exactly where the fish are located – in real-time – with ActiveTarget™ Live Sonar. Enjoy high-resolution images of fish movements, watching them as they swim in the targeted area. Observe their real-time behavior around your lure and know whether your technique is working or if it’s time to change strategy.

Elite FS is a sonar with a clear display – widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio, multitouch, designed with a high-brightness LED backlight. Its modern and flexible software with an intuitive menu system, cursor assistant, marker mode, and innovative screen visualization technology with quick and instant access to all menus allow you a wider viewing angle regardless of sunlight intensity. Thanks to the enhanced processor integrated into the Elite FS series, refresh rates and menu responsiveness are significantly increased and improved. The Elite FS series includes many innovations and features created solely to be useful to anglers.

The Elite-9 FS Combo Active Imaging 3 in 1 offers smooth operation thanks to its faster processor, intuitive functions, and user interface, including scrolling through individual menus, cursor assistant, various useful functional modules, and a range of innovative viewing options activated by a single touch or finger swipe.

The Elite-9 FS Combo includes an SD card slot for viewing or installing chart cards, recording and playback of data (from the device or external cards), and system software updates. The Lowrance Elite-9 FS Combo is compatible with Airmar transducers up to 1 kW – suitable for deep and saltwater (these transducers are an optional accessory).

Preloaded with a worldwide base map, the Elite FS sonars support a wide range of chart options, including C-MAP®, Navionics®, and many more.
