When I received my AT Max, it came packaged in original condition, but when I went to pair headphones with machine, it was already done....h-m-m....my question was and still is, did I get a unit that was returned and re-sent? Once, I assembled the machine, I had to get out and try it. My first time out was rather disappointing....the coupling between the headphones and machine would go in and out, but as the usage has increased the problem seems to be going way. I also started noticing less audible targets, until I knew something wasn’t quite right. Checked my settings and ground balancing and everything seemed to check out. I tossed a quarter onto the ground and swept over it and received no signal
Started checking my connections, and discovered that my coil connection was not seated all the way. Took the coupling off, re-seated it and tightened it and ouila! Several things I love about the AT Max is the recovery speed, the volume control, the additional depth, and most of all, the cordless headphones. I have both the AT Pro and the AT Max and prefer the pro zero on both machines. The audio signal gives off separate distinct sounds for low, medium, and high conductivity. The ground here in Denver is highly mineralized and when I ground balance on auto, I get a reading of 93. So, I believe I’m losing some depth. I really envy those folks back east where history is older and ground not as mineralized.....
