if the question is
changed headphones / without opening the box?
The answer is yes
the diving mask with earphone
was one of my ideas / not retained / too expensive to put in place .......
if the headphones Fisher / is not ready for launch

never tried Aquasound
saw the videos, seemed like a good machine
during the design of manta
I had repeatedly asked for a louder volume
a lot of diver complains that the sound is too weak underwater
with the Fisher Aquamanta
you should not be disappointed
impossible to set volume / at maximum / out of water
at the risk of losing a tympanum
so under water / he'll snap on the ring

no problem Terry,
the basalt stones give a sound with all the PIs
manta also in all metals
with the rejection of iron / we have not encountered any problem on
all baslat stones tested
and the loss of performance across the basalt
is less than 10% on all our tests
- well on, it is always possible to find harder
in some region of the world ...

use a sieve on a buoy
saves time
7us will not only give small targets
he takes rings 2/3 gr / deeper than the others
some are just a deep scoop
only you do not hear them ..
again, the pulse gives an advantage, with the length of the sound
which allows to determine the size of the target // with a little experience of course

manta coils are specific manta
nobody starts at 7 us
with the good connector, possible to use another coil
but you will lose the 7/8/9 / and probably 10us .... see more
as much buy a dual PI
the 12 inches is planned for the first time
the best compromise to satisfy the most people
Then, there will be optional coils
10 inches would probably be better in the water
15 inches to make th

the coil is round
it is the best choice for a PI
the detection cone is more accurate
what is important to point the target
and even more at great depth......
the choice of the outer cable is also mine
with clips, allows to have a more compact cane once fold back
more convenient for transportation
mode all metals, iron recognition is really good
the ferrous gives a characteristic dual

the good PI, the ones I use
recognize iron very well
you have to know raised the coil
to be in limit of acquisition of the target, and the one double beep
announces 95% of iron
in saturation, recognition to sound, will not be so easy
the manta marks very well iron, including all metals mode
- the headphones and sound quality, underwater remains a big problem

yes, he did as well as the GPZ
but I repeat, we were on the site of an iron mine ... (no VLF works on this site)
without any particular adjustment at the programming level
the powerful microcontroller that equips the Manta card
allows to vary a lot of parameters
So, it's a very good start, once adjusting on the nugget land
we should have a very good machine
and if the T1 does n

Hi,
more than depth, we must remember
that the 7us brings a big lot of gold target
that you do not see at the present day
has the depth or you dig a signet now
you will go for a ring of 2/3 gr
automatically and without digging deeper
the number of good targets increases
then, you have to know how to be reasonable
and depending on the context know how to abandon a target

Hello,
some news on Fisher Manta
after using, the most powerful pulsepower
deepstar, SSV3, Aquastar, Goldscan 5c
I can tell you that Fisher Manta is deeper
and more sensitive with its 7us delay
the total weight should not exceed 1.5 kg
the Fisher team is currently working on the mechanical part
new box, cane, new coil....
the high sensitivity of the 7us requires materials accor
