EM 124

MULTIBEAM ECHO SOUNDER

The modular, state-of-the-art EM 124 performs accurate, high resolution seabed mapping up to full ocean depths. The successor of the EM 122, the EM 124's broad range of functionality supports simultaneous collection of multiple data types, saving time in the planning, execution and analysis phase. A low noise echo sounder, EM 124 with full ocean depth capability delivers superior data requiring minimal post-processing.
