Will Minelab Pro-Sonic wireless System work with the Equinox?

[Jaichim24]

Hey all, has anyone played around with the Pro-Sonic wireless system and the blue tooth connection integrated into the Equinox? I have the Pro-Sonic, and it would be nice to just link the Equinox to the receiving Module and use my favorite Gray Ghost headphones. Thanks!

It will not sync to the Equinox, so, you'll have to go another route.

Minelab inexplicably (well perhaps I actually know why) makes each of their proprietary (i.e.,non-bluetooth) wireless transmit/receive solutions incompatible with each other. So Pro Sonic will not work with the CTX wireless system (WM10?) and will not work with the Equinox wireless (WM08- WI-stream)). Go figure.

If you want to just use your gray ghosts and do not want to break the bank purchasing a WM08 module (that is included with the 800 but Minelab is incredulously asking $249 for it as a separate accessory almost as much as the complete Pro-Sonic package), just purchase a relatively cheap bluetooth APTX LL receiver for about $20 to $30 and a 1/4" to 1/8" miniplug adapter ($5) and you can pair that receiver with the 600 via BT (low latency) and plug your gray ghosts into it using the adapter. Instant untethered.

I use this one on my Minelab GPX in transmit mode with BT headphones (it can be set to be in either receive or transmit mode): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B4W40VC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
