Mix & Match 12-pin adapter cable — 1 kW CHIRP transducers to xSonic 9-pin (MMC-9N)

This Airmar Mix & Match (MMC-9N) adapter cable is designed to connect an Airmar 1 kW CHIRP transducer, equipped with a 12-pin connector, to a Navico display (Simrad, Lowrance) with an xSonic 9-pin sonar port. It ensures compatibility between your transducer and your new electronic equipment.

The Airmar Mix & Match system is a modular solution that allows using the same transducer with different display brands. The transducer has a standard main cable (typically 9 meters) ending in a universal connector. A brand-specific adapter cable (like this MMC-9N) is then added to establish the connection. This provides great flexibility for equipment upgrades without having to replace the entire transducer.

The SKU for this Airmar Mix & Match adapter cable is 33-1394-01. It is also known as model MMC-9N.

This Airmar Mix & Match adapter cable has a length of one meter (1 m).

Yes, this adapter cable is an Airmar product, designed specifically to integrate into the Airmar Mix & Match system and ensure optimal compatibility with their CHIRP transducers.

Using an adapter like the MMC-9N is beneficial as it allows you to keep your existing Airmar 1 kW CHIRP transducer, which is often a significant investment. This avoids the costs and complexity of replacing and reinstalling a new transducer when upgrading your display.

This adapter cable has two types of connectors:

A 12-pin female Airmar connector, which plugs into the main cable of your Airmar 1 kW CHIRP transducer. A 9-pin male Navico xSonic connector, which plugs directly into the sonar port of your compatible display.

This adapter cable is exclusively designed for CHIRP transducers. It is not compatible with conventional transducers operating on fixed frequencies such as 50/200 kHz.

This adapter is compatible with Airmar transducers in the Mix & Match system, specifically 1 kW CHIRP models using a 12-pin connector.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for Airmar 1 kW CHIRP transducers that are part of the Mix & Match system and equipped with a 12-pin connector.

This cable is compatible with Navico brand sonar displays, such as Simrad and Lowrance, which are equipped with a 9-pin xSonic sonar port.

Yes, this adapter is compatible with Simrad and Lowrance displays, provided they have a 9-pin xSonic sonar port.

No, this adapter cable is not compatible with conventional transducers operating at 50/200 kHz frequencies. It is exclusively intended for CHIRP transducers.

This adapter cable is specifically designed for 1 kW CHIRP transducers supporting CHIRP mid (M) and high (H) frequency bands. For CHIRP low (L) frequency transducers, a different adapter may be required depending on the transducer configuration.

No, this adapter is designed specifically for Airmar 1 kW CHIRP transducers that are part of the Airmar Mix & Match system and feature the Airmar 12-pin connector. It is not compatible with transducers from other brands.

Yes, your detection display (Navico, Simrad, Lowrance) must be equipped with a 9-pin xSonic sonar port to use this adapter cable. This is the output connector type of the adapter.

No, installing this adapter cable generally requires no specific tools. The connections are plug-and-play type, designed to be plugged and unplugged by hand.

This adapter cable is inserted between the main cable of your Airmar transducer (which ends with the Airmar 12-pin connector) and the sonar port of your Navico display (Simrad, Lowrance) which has a 9-pin xSonic connector.

Yes, like all Airmar products designed for marine use, this adapter cable is made from materials resistant to saltwater, UV, and the harsh environmental conditions typical of nautical applications, ensuring its durability and reliability.
