Embark on excellence with the MEGA PACK LIVE HUMMINBIRD for exceptional images and a unique on-water experience while searching for your favorite fish!!!
The long-awaited new release from HUMMINBIRD with the XPLORE 12 MSI+.
The new XPLORE GPS series with touchscreen coupled to its new MSI+ transducer for a power of 1000w and advanced connectivity for an incredible experience and compatibility with the new MEGA LIVE 2 transducer!!
A touchscreen? :
A touchscreen with a completely redesigned interface and an ultra MEGA fast processor!!!
A new Mega Side Imaging+ and Mega Down Imaging+ transducer? :
While the Xplore monitor is still capable of using 800khz, the transducers supplied with the Xplore (SH-A-140T) no longer include the 800kHz frequency. This frequency was little used because on greater depths 455kHz is essential, while in shallower depths the MEGA IMAGING+ frequencies are unbeatable. The Xplore's transmit power remains 1000w RMS like the Helix and Solix.
Software compatibility and connectivity :
The Xplore series uses the same software as the Apex series and benefits from the same screw-in connectors, ensuring increased robustness and reliability.
Two microSD ports are present on the front.
Networking:
Xplore GPS fishfinders can be networked with the Solix G3 and Apex models, offering optimal flexibility and integration for users. Networking components include WiFi, Bluetooth and an Ethernet port.
It has a single ETHERNET port, it will be necessary to install a optional ETHERNET HUB reference AS-ETH5PGL in order to couple a Mega live transducer and another compatible display.

User Guide
The new transducer HUMMINBIRD Mega Live moves to version 2.0, bringing significant improvements:
New electronics and new design :
Everything has been revised to offer superior performance, including a new design and updated electronics.
It is even compatible for sea use !!!
Survey modes :
Search modes evolve with four possibilities for exploiting the MEGA LIVE 2 transducer.
A DOWN (down view) view — the ideal view for VertiLive and/or pelagic fishing in open water.
A FORWARD (forward view) view intended to prospect at distance to discreetly spot and see your lure several meters from the boat.
A LANDSCAPE (panoramic view) — a wide forward view to gather information around the boat in shallow water.
Open Water/TargetBoost : To be used for pelagic fishing, this mode emphasizes spotting fish located mid-water.
Greater range :
With this new mode called "Open Water", the Mega Live 2 transducer provides increased visibility up to 45m, allowing better vision of lures on the screen, even at a distance.
Improved image stability and resolution with 15 color palettes available
Compatibility :
With its increased performance, Only the Xplore, Solix G3, and Apex series will have sufficient power to exploit this new transducer which, in the absence of a black box, requires a processor with high computing capacity.
WARNING, the MEGA LIVE 2 transducer is not compatible with the HELIX series
MEGA LIVE transducer power supply at 12V
Power supply advice :
The MEGA LIVE 2 transducer must be powered at 12v in addition to your fishfinder. You need to provide enough current in Amps on your 12V battery for good autonomy for a full day.
It is recommended to install a switch and/or a circuit breaker on the power supply of your MEGA LIVE transducer in order to be able to cut it off during movements on the water.
Can be installed directly on ULTREX AND FORTREX motors.
Installation advice for Mega live transducer :
To get the most out of the MEGA LIVE 2 transducer, it is recommended to use the PIKE'N BASS Adjustable Transducer Pole offered in the long 2 m version reference 410170 for sea use, in the intermediate 1.90 m version reference 410168 for sea and/or freshwater use and in the short PIKE'N BASS 1 m version reference 410169/410190 and 410191 for Freshwater.
This transducer pole allows quick deployment of your transducer and a 360° orientation to optimize the view on your screen in all circumstances. It folds easily into the horizontal position to allow you to leave your complete installation safely on your boat during high-speed navigation but also on the road during your travels.
For navigation with a thermal engine and at high speed, you must fold your pole well into the horizontal position to avoid any risk of damage and thus protect your transducer.
Warning !! If you must lift your transducer out of the water, be sure to turn off the transducer's PING on your screen so as not to make it run out of the water.
