Description
The Axiom 2 Pro 9 RVM 9-inch HybridTouch multifunction display with RealVision MAX & 1 kW CHIRP Sonar, No Charts/Transducer is a premium 9-inch HybridTouch multifunction display for serious cruising, sailing and offshore fishing installations. Axiom 2 Pro combines a responsive touchscreen with dedicated physical keys and a rotary controller, a six-core processing platform, 64 GB of internal storage, dual Gigabit RayNet ports, NMEA 2000, dual-band Wi-Fi, HDMI output and extensive video/audio integration. The RVM model adds Raymarine RealVision MAX imaging plus a separate 1 kW CHIRP sonar channel for demanding fishfinding. This SKU is supplied without a chart card. A transducer is not included.
Main Features
- 9-inch HybridTouch display with touchscreen, user-configurable keypad and rotary control for dependable operation in rough or wet conditions.
- Six-core LightHouse platform with 64 GB storage for fast chart redraw, responsive multi-function pages and future system expansion.
- Dual Gigabit RayNet Ethernet plus NMEA 2000 for multi-display networks, radar, sonar, cameras, autopilot, engines and instruments.
- Advanced video and connectivity with dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI output, analog video input and audio connections.
- RealVision MAX plus 1 kW CHIRP sonar with a 600 W high-CHIRP/RealVision imaging channel and a separate 42–250 kHz 1 kW CHIRP port.
HybridTouch helm control
Axiom 2 Pro is designed for helms where touch-only control is not always ideal. HybridTouch combines the speed of capacitive touchscreen gestures with dedicated hard keys and a rotary controller, making it easier to operate when the boat is moving, the operator is wearing gloves or spray is on the screen. The keypad is user configurable so frequently used functions can be assigned to physical controls rather than buried in menus.
LightHouse navigation and charting
The LightHouse operating system brings chartplotting, radar, sonar, autopilot, engine data, cameras and entertainment controls into one interface. It supports Raymarine LightHouse Charts along with supported Navionics and C-MAP cartography. Waypoints, routes and split-screen layouts can be customized for cruising or fishing, while LightHouse apps and partner integrations extend the display beyond traditional navigation functions. The system can be used as a single premium chartplotter or as the core of a multi-display network.
Performance, storage and networking
Axiom 2 Pro uses a six-core processor and 64 GB of solid-state internal storage. Two front-mounted microSDXC slots provide convenient access for charts and data. Two RayNet Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mb/s networking, allowing high-bandwidth radar, sonar, IP cameras and multiple Axiom displays to share data. NMEA 2000 connects vessel instruments, engines, tanks, AIS and Evolution autopilots. Dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 support mobile and wireless functions.
Video, audio and external integration
Unlike smaller Axiom+ displays, Axiom 2 Pro includes HDMI output for displaying the helm image on another screen, a BNC analog video input on the power harness and analog audio connections. An external GPS antenna can be connected through the TNC port when the installation location limits the internal antenna’s sky view. These interfaces make Axiom 2 Pro well suited to enclosed pilothouses, offshore helms and refits where cameras, entertainment or remote monitors need to be integrated.
GNSS and navigation data
The internal 10 Hz GNSS receiver supports GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou and can track up to 28 satellites simultaneously. SBAS augmentation includes WAAS and other regional systems. The fast heading-independent position updates support smooth chart motion and precise waypoint navigation, while external heading data from an EV-1/AR200 or other compatible source enables improved radar overlay, MARPA and augmented-reality performance.
RealVision MAX and 1 kW CHIRP sonar
The RVM version is the fishing-focused Axiom 2 Pro. Its 25-pin RealVision MAX port provides a 600 W high-CHIRP channel plus DownVision, SideVision and RealVision 3D imaging. Raymarine specifies RealVision MAX ranges up to about 366 m (1,200 ft) for high-CHIRP conical sonar, 183 m (600 ft) for DownVision, and 91 m (300 ft) for SideVision and RealVision 3D under favourable conditions. A separate 11-pin 1 kW CHIRP port supports compatible 42–250 kHz transducers and can reach approximately 914 m (3,000 ft) in optimum conditions with an appropriate 1 kW transducer.
Transducer planning
No transducer is included. The display can be configured around RealVision MAX imaging, a 1 kW CHIRP transducer, or both, depending on fishing style and hull. Through-hull transducers should be selected for hull material and deadrise, and the 1 kW port requires a compatible transducer with the correct frequency band. The dual-sonar architecture is one of the main reasons to select RVM over Pro S for offshore or deep-water fishing.
Radar, autopilot, AIS and cameras
With dual RayNet ports, Axiom 2 Pro can build a sophisticated integrated helm around Quantum 2 or Cyclone radar, AIS700, Evolution autopilot, i70s instruments and Raymarine IP cameras. ClearCruise augmented reality can combine CAM300 video with AR200 heading/attitude data to overlay AIS targets, waypoints and navigation objects on a live camera image. Compatible NMEA 2000 engine gateways can place propulsion and tank data beside charts and radar for a centralized helm presentation.
Display, power and installation
The 9-inch optically bonded display is rated at 1300 nits for sunlight visibility. Axiom 2 Pro operates from 8–32 V DC, making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V systems, and is rated IPX6/IPX7. Trunnion-mounted dimensions are 329.5 × 186.2 × 234.9 mm, while flush/surface dimensions are 299.32 × 173.79 × 234.9 mm. Installation planning should allow space for two RayNet cables, power/video/audio harnesses, sonar connectors and service loops behind the display.
