Product Description
Equinox 600 is the entry model in the Equinox line, built on the same simultaneous Multi-IQ technology found in the higher models, giving reliable performance and solid depth without complexity. The detector is fully waterproof to 3 metres (10 ft), ready to explore running water, wet beaches and submerged sites with confidence.
It offers 3FĂ3 technology with three selectable single frequencies (5, 10, 15 kHz) alongside the all-purpose Multi-IQ mode, giving you the flexibility of three traditional detectors in one. It also includes Pinpoint mode for accurate target location and reduced digging time.
It comes with an EQX11 11-inch round Double-D waterproof search coil, and is compatible with WM 08 wireless headphones and low-latency Bluetooth/aptX headphones (sold separately) for a faster, clearer audio upgrade whenever you want it.
