DDancer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hehh :0 The topic: And the query. Quote Small GPZ Audio Issue Quote The best way to describe it is the way my GPX 5000 would cut out in discrimination mode with the DD coil, Is it a Zed? Read the question. Yeah the audio can cut out on the WM12 but thats just keeping it in your pocket or in LOS, Line Of Sight, dont know that the GPX has this capability unless someones adapted it... I'll put my hard hat on just incase someone wants to dump a load of bricks on me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a much cleaner tone when plugged in directly. I use a short (12") jumper cable to mitigate the problems Klunker described. Never used my GPZ without the wireless module. Next time I'm out I might have to see if the audio is improved by plugging directly in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesD Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Try wiggling the headphone wire at the plug to see if you get any audio static or cuts. Ive had probably 10 pairs of Koss headphones go bad, due to that wire breaking. It usually starts out as an intermittent audio cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP is trying to explain what is happening with the GPZ by using a comparison or example of how the GPX blanks when discriminating ferrous items using a DD coil with iron reject. He wasn't saying that the GPX does the same thing just that it is the best way he can think to describe it. I've used 3 x different types of wireless systems with various detectors from MinelabMods Little Ripper on a SD2200D thru to Avantree low latency units on GP3500 & SDC2300 along with the WM12 on the GPZ. They have all had an intermittent, although very infrequent, blanking or cutting out due mostly to body position I found. In my experience it only ever lasts a fraction of a second & any very short inconvenience is by far outweighed by the convenience of being wireless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I use the Sun Ray Pro headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDancer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for pointing that out... Its a bit obvious to me now. Hehh, sorry I had a case of bringing my work home with me~ a long argument on paperwork and definitions of how to word things. Got caught in a literary loop Littoraly :) Mind could not make the connections much like an audio cutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 off subject...what does "near water" have to do with a literary loop? i am rarely at a loss to find the meaning of something...but you got me, DD fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
