Features:

Multi IQ technology

Allows to comb the location with several frequencies at the same time, with high recovery speed, so the user can spot many different targets on different depths.

4 Frequencies + Multi

The user can apply one operating frequency at a time for specific type of targets, or multi frequencies for best search productivity.

3 Search Modes + 6 Custom

Three preset modes are good for quick setting, while custom modes allow the user to adapt the setting to location and save them.

DD Coil

The most efficient configuration of the coil for especially mineralized soils and locations with lots of trash.

Manual Ground Balance

Auto mode tracks the level of mineralization on its own, while manual mode allows the user to tune the machine for better sensitivity.

Wireless Headphones

Compatible for better mobility of the user.

Waterproof

Up to 10 feet is enough to search near the coast and near the river banks.

Noise Cancellation

Automatically shifts the operating frequency to minimize noise and chatter from electromagnetic fields on the location.

Updatable Software

The detectorist can update the software and improve their machines performance by simply downloading new version online

Differences Between Equinox 600 and Equinox 800

There are kit differences and feature differences between the two models within this series. The kit differences include: no WM 08 module provided in the kit for Equinox 600, despite the fact it is compatible; wired headphones for 600 and wireless for 800.

The feature for model 600 differences include: not adjustable backlight (only on and off), no quick switch from one search mode to another, not adjustable threshold, not adjustable noise reduction, no Gold search program, only three speeds of response (compared to 8 in the 800 model), more primitive audio capabilities, three operating frequencies (compared to five in 800 model).

These are the differences between the two. It becomes obvious, however, that the main perks remain the same Multi frequency, waterproof isolation, design, and updatable software.
