Sorex PRO provides the user with the widest range of SI in compliance with his personal choices and types of current tasks. But the main difference between this model and other detectors is its switch option for the so-called searchcoil signal main algorithm (MA) processing.

Its noteworthy feature is absence of sound response delay, which exists in SSF and MSF algorithms. So, Sorex PRO is a multi-frequency detector. It has a wide range of coils of different sizes and frequencies. It has several switchable main algorithms of signal processing which allows device adjustment for various search conditions: from trashy areas to deep search of single targets.
Engineers of the AKA Company are sure that you will be happy with the catch you get with Sorex PRO. The introduction to the variety of original technologies used in this device will make your hobby more educative, interesting and exciting :).

Even two-target detection with one identification signal would be possible, but this is an exigeant stunt. We recommend to set the threshold tone sensitivity to 16-17 in clear areas and reduce it to the comfortable level in trashy areas.

Together with the speed of target distinguish in the "trash" mode this setting will increase your chance not to miss nonferrous targets surrounded by the iron. Select value of the low tone shift taking into account a specific search area, trying to hold it on the edge of the iron common to the area.

Once the next target is identified, the previous hodograph is deleted. Mode "2", "3" - the display also saves hodographs from last two or three targets identified by the device.

At the same time, ground phase digit in automatic balancing operation may differ by 3 degrees on the same place.
Selective Metal Detector SOREX PRO. Operating manual. temperature of the searchcoil has changed by the value (approximately 8° С) which requires ground rebalancing . In case of significant temperature drops (more than 15°С against normal +20°С) we recommend to perform electronic module and searchcoil adaptation procedure one more time (see Searchcoil Replacement).

In this mode the device also responds to some so-called "hot rocks" of the prolate form. SOREX Pro identifies most of these rocks and does not give sound response to them. If you are not interested in such signals, and they even disturb you, use discrimination mode, in practice it corresponds to the "all metals"...
The search goal may also be changed: from large to small objects. Such change increases operating frequency. Unlike other models of the line, Sorex PRO has built-in systems of automatic and semi-automatic (forced) adaptation of the searchcoil..

However, each unit had unique GB level due to the spread of phase characteristics of searchcoils. For Sorex PRO the aforementioned phase shift (with a random pattern) is taken as default 0 for the GB behavior in the searchcoil adaptation mode.

To provide device performance in the search for large and small targets many manufacturers produce 2, 3 or 4 frequency detectors. Sorex Pro is a multi-frequency device which allows working with searchcoils of any excitation frequency within the range of 2-22 kHz, putting into action the principle of the sensitivity acceptable for almost any group of targets.

Make additional scanning to detect object type above the center of the object, i.e. on the maximum signal line, keeping distance between the searchcoil and the ground if possible. For the same purpose it is necessary to scan found object in the direction with the least ground relief changes.

With this scanning technique the aforementioned targets would give low tone of sound indication, and the display would show specific shift of the hodographic picture to the left (to the iron sector).
