Lowrance HDS-12 Carbon

PREMIUM PERFORMANCE | UNBEATABLE FISH VIEWS

What’s New with the HDS-12 Carbon… Unbeatable views of fish and fish-holding structure by combining premium Lowrance® CHIRP sonar and StructureScan® 3D images with a bright, high-resolution Super Wide – 12″ SolarMAX™ HD display, which can be viewed from any angle – even through polarized sunglasses.

No Lag Time – Very FAST… Powerful performance that delivers the fastest chart redraws, rapid sonar updates and quicker response times via a dual-core processor engineered to easily power top sonar technology like Live Network Sonar, Dual-Channel CHIRP, StructureScan® 3D with enhanced SideScan and DownScan Imaging™, plus future high-power upgrades.

Dual-Channel CHIRP – Deep water and trolling anglers will never miss a fish when watching two Lowrance CHIRP frequencies at the same time on a dual-channel CHIRP split screen. Run a High CHIRP panel for the best target separation close to the bottom or in the tight schools, a Medium CHIRP panel to cover the widest area, ideal for watching bait schools under a transducer in shallow water, or go deeper with a Low CHIRP panel to cover more of the water column.

FishReveal™ Smart Target View – FishReveal makes fish easy to see. By combining traditional CHIRP sonar with high-resolution DownScan Imaging you get a precision view of bottom detail, structure and bait fish. With FishReveal there is no need to display CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging in a two-panel split-screen display. CHIRP sonar is laid right over the DownScan Imaging.

TotalScan Transducer – TotalScan™ combines Broadband Sonar, CHIRP Sonar, StructureScan® HD and DownScan™ Imaging technology into one easy to use unit. Target fish and search for fish-holding structures with the same transducer. No more need for multiple transducers hanging of the back of the boat.

StructureScan® 3D Ready – Easily pinpoint fish locations and key fishing areas in and around structure where the fish hide with the three-dimensional views of StructureScan combining enhanced SideScan and DownScan Imaging. SideScan gives you picture-like views up to 600 feet to each side of your boat, while DownScan Imaging with FishReveal™ makes fish identification easy, using high-detail images of cover and structure below your boat. * Requires a StructureScan 3D transducer and module to unlock the full potential of your fish finder.

Live Network Sonar – Cover more water in less time when viewing sonar from up to two transducers at the same time – on the same display – with Lowrance exclusive Live Network Sonar.

SolarMAX™ HD Display – Optimum Performance in any Weather, see fish, structure and chart detail better than ever on the high-resolution, super-bright SolarMAX™ HD displays. The screen is bright and clear with easy viewing from any angle, even in direct sunlight, and through polarized sunglasses. The ultra-responsive multi-touch screen works even when the display is wet.

Plug and Play Compatibility – Easily build a system around your HDS Carbon. Add Broadband Radar, SonicHub®2 Marine Audio, SiriusXM® Marine Weather and audio, DSC VHF, as well as industry-leading technologies, like Mercury® VesselView® Link, Bluetooth® control of Power-Pole shallow water anchors and the SmartSteer™ interface, featuring control of MotorGuide® Xi5 trolling motor and the Lowrance® Outboard Pilot.

Wireless Connectivity – With integrated wireless connectivity, downloading software updates and C-MAP Genesis maps directly to your display is a breeze.

Smartphone Control – View and control the HDS-12 carbon display from your smartphone or tablet using the free Link App. Backup and restore waypoints, routes, trails and display settings directly to your mobile device. Protecting your valuable fishing data against loss or theft is easier than ever.

“The new Lowrance Carbon units give you a ton of processing power for clearer pictures and faster performance. I found them to be noticeably faster than my previous HDS Gen3 graphs that I ran on the same setup.”
