Going to be a nice machine and powerful. Look at that battery run time 9 hours with a 7 hour recharge time. That's not even a full day of run time in my book. I'll run 10-12 hours at some of my sites and if you forget to put the detector on the charger overnight you're done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I've put in a question on the ML Manticore page 'ask' window about the audio output options (proprietary? Bluetooth? Headphone jack?) of the Manticore. The canned response upon my submission was that I would get a reply in a few hours. I'll post here what I find out. Oops, well, I didn't see the 'specs' tab. 3.5 mm female jack is included, and it doesn't appear there will be proprietary super low latency capability (as with the WM08 on the Equinox). But maybe they will indicate the latency for the "Wireless low latency headphones". That was one of my questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest TID shown was in high twenties (lead seal) and highest were low 50's (copper? coin), that I remember anyway. Mark Lawrie (sp?), the Minelab engineer, said something about he'll be posting some common targets and their digital ID's soon. I believe the large red bar under the TID indicates the 'negative' value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally don't find square nails at the beach, but, having better iron I.d. will help us avoid sketchy sounding junk iron that we really don't want to bother with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.young Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 https://www.kellycodetectors.com/pages/minelabs-manticore-50-more-powerful-than-equinox/The connectors for charging and waterproof headphones seem to be the same as the Equinox with the same configuration. A similar pair of waterproof headphones to the Equinox’s will be released for Minelab’s Manticore. The Manticore will not have bluetooth capability, and will have proprietary low-latency wireless connectivity only. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes KCo claims at the top of this page that the new detector is "50% more powerful than the Equinox". 🙄 Pretty bold claim. (Sure has 100% more batteries) Bet that gets revised. Also of note are the names of the profiles, definitely skewed toward the D2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sounds like they may be referring to processing power not just voltage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it has more revelations (emphasis mine below): Thank you so much for your email and interest in the new BEAST, Minelab Manticore. As we currently do not have immediate details on the Minelab Manticore, it has been confirmed that the Audio will be a 3.5mm Headphone operation with Bluetooth Compatibilities. The Audio functionality will be equivalent to the Equinox series with the APTX Low Latency Headphone technology. As for the Y-Stream Technology with the WM08, i am unable to confirm if this technology will be available in the new BEST, Manticore. The BEAST will be provided with Minelab's ML100 Headphones (Same Bluetooth technology as the Equinox.) The Equinox series ML80 Headphones and Waterproof EQX headphones are compatible with the BEAST. Please be sure to stay tuned into Minelab's social media accounts through out the next few weeks or so for more details to emerge! -- Kind regards; Maxwell Minelab Customer Care 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
