First information about the new Garrett ACE series! Or ace 400 will conquer the market?
For several weeks, rumors about the new Garrett Ace detectors - the successors of the legendary canaries, dominant sector of economic detectors not only in Poland. Ace is to be the flagship model 400. The explorer as the first service in Poland gives you specifics about this detector!
Garrett in response to the competition currently overtaking him-Minelab with Go -Find and Teknetics detectors with successful Eurotek, He had to refresh quite the old "canaries". Hence with Ace 400 They are coming 200 i 300 and version 200i and 300i. The description shows, that versions with a letter and nothing more than typical for Garrett detectors to the international market. But in turn, Let's get to the presentation of detectors.
ACE 200 will be the direct successor of the model 150. Identical distribution of the front panel, allowing only the selection of one of the three modes and sensitivity. A very important change is the addition of a number indicator to a five -speed signal detection indicator - each, who remembers how defective in matters of correct ID was ace 150, He should be delighted, because Garrett catches up with the competition here and it is definitely a very good move, Especially when the manufacturer can be good well. The "i" version is to be characterized by the characteristics of discrimination adapted to the European conditions and other sound change thresholds. How many sounds in the new Ace 200 it is not known, But there will be no revolution and the next years are preparing with the characteristic "Ding-Dong" in the background.
ACE 300 This is the development version of the model 250 - in the ranking the detector is probably the most important, Because replacing the best -selling detector in the world. Here we can count on a solid portion of new products - although the front panel definitely resembles the appearance of the predecessor, This is important new products - the Iron Audio option known from the Higher Garrett models and the selection of working frequencies. Everyone who approached his canary to less than 20 meters knows, how useful this option can be. Discrimination with twelve -degree VDI (Probably scaled 0-99) with the option of manual cutting of undesirable ranges. For this Pinpoint. To sum up, ACE 250 with a few quite important improvements, However, still without the volume control, display backlight. The European market version has extended iron identification and slightly different discrimination settings. There will be a hit? How the price will be appropriate and the novelty will prove effective in the field, this chance is big!
The highest model of new "aces" - 400 - has been a hot topic for weeks. Unfortunately, there is no indication, To make this model be a bridge between the ACE and AT series. Not a word about water resistance and great similarity to the lower model - write out the same situation as with models 250 i 350 - identical detector with a larger DD coil. The front panel does not reveal any additional elements, and even scaling ID between the version to the American and European market suggests, that we are dealing here with Ace 300 with a DD coil and another front panel sticker. Is it a disappointment? I admit honestly, that seeing the first leaks about Ace 400 I bet something like this in the dark, and not overclocked waterproof canary.
To sum up, whether the new Garrett series is a hit or kit? It all depends on it, How new changes will affect the effectiveness of the detector. Undoubtedly, the manufacturer went in the right direction - but let's not forget about it, that the previous generation is light and a bit behind the competition, And in the economic market sector, the fight is sharp and new players from Europe appear. New canaries can lose the competition, Especially if the prices are not attractive. If Garrett did not solve problems with susceptible to causing at high humidity and impact of the coil with sticks of detectors, and the price of new pieces will not be attractive, this legendary name and color may not be enough, In particular, in the case of the highest model, which will probably be a bit under much more advanced detectors - even the native proxima rutus. Dodatkowym plusem nowej generacji będzie spadek ceny obecnej generacji kanarków, which persistently have not wanted to be cheaper for the last few years.
