R2 Sonic 2024-V: The High-Resolution Wideband Multibeam Echosounder

Ultra-Sharp 0.3° Resolution for Professional Hydrography & Deep-Water Inspection

Product Overview The R2 Sonic 2024-V is the flagship of the Sonic-V series, representing the world's first broadband-wideband high-resolution multibeam sonar. While the 2020 and 2022 models excel in portability, the 2024-V is engineered for uncompromised detail. With a standard beamwidth of 0.45° x 0.9°, it is the primary tool for high-stakes projects requiring the highest possible data density and object detection.

Updated to the Sonic-V architecture, the 2024-V integrates the modernized VOX-IM interface and the VOX Control interface, making it more efficient and easier to mobilize than previous generations. Its low power consumption and optional 6000m depth rating make it the industry favorite for deep-water ROVs, AUVs, and critical pipeline integrity surveys.

Why Choose the R2 Sonic 2024-V?

  • The Industry's Sharpest Beams: Upgradeable to an ultra-focused 0.3° x 0.6° beamwidth at 700kHz (UHR), allowing for the detection of even the smallest subsea anomalies.
  • Deep-Water Performance: Optimized for range and resolution, capable of surveying depths exceeding 500 meters while maintaining high sounding density.
  • V-Series Efficiency: The new VOX-IM module simplifies the deck-side setup with integrated connectors for motion and GPS, supporting both AC and DC power inputs.
  • Intelligent Automation: Features ROBO™ mode, which automatically tunes power, gain, and pulse width to ensure optimal data quality, allowing the operator to focus on navigation.
  • Field-Upgradeable Versatility: Unlike traditional hardware, the 2024-V is software-defined. Remotely unlock Multispectral Backscatter, Pipeline Mode, or Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) as your mission requirements evolve.
