The Sonic™-V Plus Series and the standard Sonic™-V Series share identical core multibeam echosounder technology and performance specifications, but differ fundamentally in their delivery approach and what's included with your purchase.
The standard V Series systems are sold as individual multibeam echosounder units, requiring customers to separately procure additional components, accessories, and supporting equipment needed for complete survey operations. This approach offers maximum flexibility for customers who want to customize their configuration or already have existing equipment they wish to integrate. However, it places the burden of component selection, compatibility verification, and procurement management on the customer.
In contrast, the V Plus Series represents a complete turnkey solution philosophy. Each V Plus system arrives as a competitively priced value package containing everything necessary for immediate survey operations. Rather than managing multiple procurement processes and ensuring component compatibility, customers receive a ready-to-deploy system that simply connects up to begin surveying. This eliminates assembly requirements, reduces procurement complexity, and significantly saves time from order to operational readiness.
The V Plus approach also minimizes the risk of compatibility issues between components, as all elements are factory-tested together as an integrated system. This complete package strategy reduces total cost of ownership through bundled pricing while ensuring optimal performance through verified component matching.
From a practical standpoint, choosing between V Series and V Plus comes down to whether you prefer the flexibility of building a custom configuration piece by piece, or the convenience and cost-effectiveness of a complete, ready-to-use solution.
