Garrett 1/4" to 2-Pin Z-Lynk Adapter Cable for AT Series Headphones

The Garrett 1/4" to 2-pin Z-Lynk adapter cable is compatible with the Garrett AT Pro, AT Gold, and ATX metal detectors. These models have a standard 1/4" headphone jack on the control housing that accepts the adapter's male plug. The adapter is not compatible with detectors that lack a 1/4" headphone output or that use proprietary connector systems. If you own an AT Pro or AT Gold and want to run Z-Lynk wireless headphones, this adapter provides the required 2-pin interface without aftermarket modifications. Visit our Garrett AT series - all-terrain waterproof detectors collection to compare compatible models.

The Garrett 1/4" to 2-pin Z-Lynk adapter cable is designed specifically for Garrett's Z-Lynk wireless headphone system and uses a Garrett-specific 2-pin connector. The adapter converts the AT series 1/4" jack to the 2-pin socket that Garrett Z-Lynk transmitters require. Compatibility with other wireless systems is not documented. If you are using a different wireless headphone brand, check with that manufacturer for compatible adapters or transmitter modules.

The Garrett Z-Lynk adapter cable is approximately 6 inches long from the 1/4" plug to the 2-pin socket. This length positions the Z-Lynk transmitter module close to the detector's control housing without excess cable slack that could tangle or snag on brush. The short cable keeps the wireless transmitter secure and minimizes the risk of pulling the adapter out of the headphone jack during swings. If you need additional cable length for a specific mounting configuration, check with Garrett for extension options.

The adapter can be left plugged into the AT series headphone jack when not in use, though the 2-pin socket will remain exposed. If you switch back to wired headphones, you will need to remove the adapter and plug the wired headphones directly into the 1/4" jack. Most detectorists remove the adapter when switching between wired and wireless setups to avoid losing the small cable. The adapter is designed to connect Z-Lynk wireless systems to the detector's 1/4" headphone output.

The adapter routes the detector's audio signal from the 1/4" jack to the 2-pin Z-Lynk transmitter. Audio performance depends on the Z-Lynk wireless headphone system's transmitter and receiver components rather than the adapter cable. If you experience audio issues, check the Z-Lynk transmitter battery level, receiver pairing, and headphone volume settings. The adapter is designed to maintain audio signal integrity when properly connected. For troubleshooting wireless audio problems, see our metal detecting tips and FAQs page.

Waterproof rating for the Garrett 1/4" to 2-pin Z-Lynk adapter cable is not specified in the product documentation. If you plan to hunt in waist-deep water or submerge the detector, consult Garrett for guidance on using the adapter in wet conditions or consider using waterproof wired headphones with a direct 1/4" connection instead. The adapter is suitable for beach detecting, stream hunting, and wet-weather sessions where the control housing stays above water. For submersion guidance, contact Garrett's customer support team.

The Garrett Z-Lynk adapter cable is compatible with the AT Pro, AT Gold, and ATX but is not listed as compatible with the Garrett AT Max metal detector. If you own an AT Max and want wireless headphones, check Garrett's documentation for the correct wireless adapter or transmitter module for that model. Using an incompatible adapter risks damaging the detector's headphone jack or transmitter module. Contact Garrett directly to confirm the appropriate wireless solution for your AT Max detector.

The Garrett 1/4" to 2-pin Z-Lynk adapter cable is sold separately and does not include Z-Lynk wireless headphones, the transmitter module, or the receiver. You will need to purchase the Z-Lynk wireless headphone system separately to use this adapter. The adapter is a replacement or add-on component for detectorists who already own Z-Lynk headphones and need to connect them to an AT series detector. If you are buying your first wireless headphone setup, confirm that the Z-Lynk kit includes the adapter or budget for it as an additional purchase.
