AXIOM2 12 Pro-S, hübriidpuuteekraan 12", CHIRP-sond, Wifi, põhja- ja põhjapoolse Euroopa Lighthouse-kaart, ilma sondita

The AXIOM2 12 Pro-S is particularly suited to navigators who prioritize the reliability of a traditional CHIRP fishfinder for bottom and fish detection, without the need for more complex imaging technologies like RealVision 3D. Its 12-inch size makes it ideal for helm stations where space is a consideration, offering comfortable readability. The hybrid controls (touchscreen and physical buttons) are a major asset in rough seas, allowing precise and rapid interaction with the LightHouse 4 interface. It is aimed at recreational boaters, sport fishermen, and cruising sailboats.

Installation of the AXIOM2 12 Pro-S is standard for an MFD of this size. It requires a 12V DC power connection from the vessel and network integration via NMEA 2000 (SeaTalk NG) for instrument and engine data, as well as Ethernet for Quantum radars or other Axiom MFDs. The absence of an included transducer means selecting and installing a suitable CPT-S transducer based on hull type and intended use, which is a critical step to optimize fishfinder performance. Wi-Fi connectivity simplifies software updates and remote access via mobile applications.

This 'Pro-S' model stands out from the 'Pro-R' or 'Pro-RVX' versions in the AXIOM2 range by focusing on a single-channel CHIRP fishfinder for CPT-S transducers. While the other models integrate RealVision capabilities for DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision 3D imaging, the Pro-S offers a more direct solution often sufficient for most fishing and coastal navigation applications. It positions itself as a pragmatic choice, providing the robustness and advanced features of the Pro series (fast processor, bright screen, hybrid controls) with a targeted fishfinder capability, thus avoiding unnecessary costs for technologies not used by some users.

This MFD is not designed for deep-sea fishing applications requiring a 1kW or higher CHIRP fishfinder, nor for those who want integrated RealVision 3D imaging without adding external modules. For these uses, the AXIOM2 Pro-RVX models or the addition of an external fishfinder module (CP470/CP570) would be more appropriate.
