History
V1 07/12/17 First release
V2 03/09/18
New topics:
• New active wideband hydrophones (NC-1-08) documented, see List of
Marport Hydrophones on page 17.
• Additional hydrophone cabling procedures: Simrad ITI Hydrophone
on page 34, Passive Hydrophone from other brands + Wideband
Preamplifier on page 37, Receiving Hydrophone Data on Two Systems
on page 38.
•Adding TE SC Sensor to the Receiver on page 43
V3 07/06/18
Improved topics:
•Active Wideband Hydrophone on page 27: for NC-1-08 hydrophones
with serial number 4054875, 4054845, 4054831 and after, connect the
-12V wire. NC-1-08 hydrophones with a lower serial number need to be
returned and replaced.
•Hydrophone Cabling on page 19: now includes guidelines on how to
connect Marport hydrophones without using a junction box.
•Interference Check on page 62: more detailed information about
Spectrum page.
V4 11/30/18
New topic:
•Adding Temperature Data from the Hydrophones to the System on page
41: how to display on Scalathe temperature of the water surface
received from the hydrophones.
Improved topic:
• Product references have been added in equipment list.
•Appendix A: Frequency Plan on page 73: drawings have been
changed, frequencies are now allocated between 34 kHz and 36 kHz
and frequency ranges of narrowband and wideband hydrophones are
indicated.

Introduction
The M6 is the latest addition to Marport’s acoustic receiver range.
It has the same functions as the M4 system and is meant to replace it. It has the latest advanced
features of the Mx receivers:
• It works with the latest digital signal processing, combined with the smartest software available.
• You can receive up to 100 simultaneous data from sensors. This way, you can have a full
coverage of data received from sensors to efficiently monitor the trawl.
• You can listen to 6 hydrophones simultaneously. Only data coming from the hydrophone
delivering the best signal is interpreted. This way, you do not need an hydrophone selection
switch, as often used in older types of receivers.
• Thanks to the numerous hydrophones, you can have a better reception of the sensors.
• You can receive data from standard sensors, net sounders and high-definition sensors at the
same time.
• Data received can be displayed on echogram images that you can watch from the wheelhouse.
• The receiver can detect signals received even from a long transmission range.
• There is a large frequency range. This way, you have enough bandwidth to add multiple sensors.
• There are 2 NMEA and 4 NTC entries to receive hydrophones' temperature data.
The M6 works with an Apple Mac pro and two Mx receivers. The computer processes the signal
and displays on a screen data received. You can configure the sensors and display data to suit your
needs.
