Live Sonar Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL high-definition real-time imaging

Live Sonar Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL is a high-definition real-time sonar system that allows you to observe fish behavior and lure interaction directly under the water. This solution is designed for sport fishing, vertical jigging, and precise structure scanning, offering a clear advantage over traditional sonar systems. It delivers clear live views in front of, below, and around the boat, making it a key component of modern fishing electronics, boat equipment, and professional fish-finding gear.

ActiveTarget 2 XL uses advanced beam transmission technology to provide higher resolution and smoother imaging across the entire range. Optimized image stabilization reduces interference caused by waves and boat movement, allowing accurate monitoring of fish activity in real time. The system is fully compatible with modern Lowrance displays and built for demanding anglers.

Features

• Real-time imaging: Live view of fish, lure movement, and underwater structures.
• High resolution: Enhanced detail at greater distances from the boat.
• Multi-directional views: Forward XL, Down XL, and Scout XL modes for full situational awareness.
• Stabilized signal: Clear and sharp images even in rough conditions.
• Modular system: Supports dual-system setup for Scout Live 360 coverage.
• Compatibility: Works with existing ActiveTarget 2 sonar modules.

Live Sonar is used for active fishing from a boat where precise, real-time fish tracking is critical. It is especially effective for deep-water fishing, vertical techniques, and locating bait balls and large schools of fish in changing conditions. The system performs reliably in lakes, reservoirs, and open waters, including autumn fishing conditions in Latvia.

Best-in-class resolution

Our live sonar resolution was already best in class. Well, now its even sharper. The new XL transducer delivers the clearest possible views of fish and bait movement in real time.

Largest field of vision

Leave nothing unseen with full 180 XL live views across Forward, Down, and Scout modes all from a single transducer.

Forward XL View

Surface-to-surface 180 views utilize the whole display, so you never miss a thing, from the moment your lure drops to the bite itself.

Down XL View

See the full expanded 180 live image beneath your boat, running right the way from front to back.

Scout XL View

A live overhead 180 view helps you spot bait balls and big schools of fish up ahead of your boat.

What displays are ActiveTarget 2 XL Dual views, such as Scout XL Live 360 view, compatible with?

Scout XL Live 360 view is available on HDS PRO only. Two independent views (Forward XL and Scout XL view) can be displayed as a split panel on HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, HDS Carbon and Elite FS 7/9 displays.

Can I buy the ActiveTarget 2 XL transducer and connect it to my existing ActiveTarget 2 Module?

The ActiveTarget 2 XL Transducer is compatible with the ActiveTarget 2 Module.

Is a software update for the ActiveTarget 2 module and MFD needed to run ActiveTarget 2 XL?

A new software version for the ActiveTarget 2 module and compatible multi-function displays will be available at launch.

How deep should the transducer be mounted below the water surface?

The transducer must be mounted low enough so that it always stays in the water even with waves or shifting of the boat. Mounting the transducer closer to the water surface will allow you to see the water surface closer to the transducer.

Why do I get a No Source message on the ActiveTarget app after pairing two ActiveTarget 2 XL systems for Scout Live 360 view?

The ActiveTarget app can only be used with unpaired standalone systems. You must unpair the two ActiveTarget 2 systems to use the ActiveTarget app. The ActiveTarget Wide app should be used for the Scout Live 360 view only.
