Dive into the Technology:

MEGA Side Imaging+ (MSI+)

See the world below like never before. MEGA Side Imaging+ provides a crystal-clear, 180-degree, side-to-side perspective of your boat. By firing a razor-thin, high-frequency beam up to 125 feet (38m) out to each side, MSI+ reveals structure, vegetation, and fish with photographic clarity. You will be able to easily distinguish between a log, a rock pile, and a school of baitfish. This technology is a game-changer for quickly surveying large areas and finding productive fishing spots that others miss.

• MEGA SI+ Frequency: 1075-1150 kHz
• 455 kHz Side Imaging: 440-500 kHz for increased range up to 400 feet (122m) per side.

MEGA Down Imaging+ (MDI+)

Get an unprecedented view of what’s directly beneath your boat. MEGA Down Imaging+ eliminates the guesswork by delivering picture-like images of structure, weeds, and fish. With MDI+, you can clearly see individual fish within submerged trees, identify transitions in bottom hardness, and precisely target fish holding tight to cover. This top-down view is essential for understanding what your 2D sonar is showing and for making the perfect cast.

• MEGA DI+ Frequency: 1075-1150 kHz
• 455 kHz Down Imaging: 440-500 kHz for greater depth penetration.

Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D Sonar

At the core of the XNT 9 HW MSI 150 T is Humminbird’s advanced Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar. Instead of a single frequency, it sweeps through a range of frequencies (150-220 kHz), resulting in superior target separation and beautifully defined fish arches. This allows you to clearly distinguish individual fish, even when they are tightly packed in a school or hugging the bottom.

Anglers can choose between two CHIRP modes:

• Wide Mode (140-200 kHz): Provides maximum coverage for searching large areas and seeing more fish. Ideal for shallow water.
• Narrow Mode (180-240 kHz): Delivers maximum detail and target separation for honing in on specific fish and structure.

Primary Compatible Models

The XNT 9 HW MSI 150 T is the factory-supplied, standard transducer packaged with the following Humminbird HELIX models. It is specifically designed to provide these units with their full range of sonar capabilities.

• HELIX 7 CHIRP MSI GPS G3
• HELIX 7 CHIRP MSI GPS G3N
• HELIX 7 CHIRP MSI GPS G4
• HELIX 7 CHIRP MSI GPS G4N

Important Compatibility Note: While the plug may be compatible with other Humminbird units, this transducer is specifically engineered and optimized for the HELIX 7 G3/G4 series. Larger units like the HELIX 8, 9, 10, or SOLIX series require different transducers (e.g., the XM 9 HW MSI T) to achieve their optimal performance. For guaranteed functionality, always pair this transducer with the models listed above.
