The Garrett Z-Lynk WR-1 is a wireless receiver module that converts any 2-pin wired headphones into a wireless setup for Garrett AT Series detectors. AT Gold, AT Pro, AT Pro International, Sea Hunter Mark II, and ATX owners working trashy parks or wading shallow creeks gain tangle-free mobility without sacrificing audio fidelity. The WR-1 pairs with the separately sold Z-Lynk WT-1 transmitter to deliver 17-millisecond audio delay, six times faster than Bluetooth, so target signals reach your ears with no perceptible lag. Frequency-hopping technology prevents interference when multiple detectorists hunt the same site.
What's Included with the Z-Lynk WR-1
- Z-Lynk WR-1 wireless receiver module
- Micro-USB charging cable
Why AT Series Owners Reach for the Z-Lynk WR-1
- Wireless operation without audio lag: the 17-millisecond delay preserves the crisp target response AT Series detectors deliver, so you hear iron falsing and foil chirps as clearly as you would on wired headphones.
- Extended hunt sessions on a single charge: rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports 30-hour runtime, enough for a full weekend of detecting without mid-hunt charging stops.
- Compatibility across the AT platform: works with AT Gold, AT Pro, AT Pro International, Sea Hunter Mark II, and ATX detectors when paired with the Garrett AT Series Z-Lynk transmitter and 2-pin headphone cable.
- Frequency-hopping prevents cross-talk: 2.4 GHz band hopping creates thousands of channels, so your audio stays clean when hunting crowded beaches or club events where multiple wireless systems operate simultaneously.
- Use your preferred 2-pin headphones: the WR-1 accepts any wired headphones with a 2-pin connector, letting you keep the earcup comfort and sound signature you already trust instead of switching to a proprietary wireless model.
Rechargeable Battery and Water-Resistant Housing
The WR-1 module recharges via micro-USB from a laptop port, vehicle USB outlet, or smartphone power block. The included cable supports field charging from a portable battery pack when you're detecting remote sites without AC access. An auto-off function powers down the receiver after 30 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life during lunch breaks or when you leave the detector in the truck. The housing carries an IP52 water-resistance rating, protecting internal electronics from light rain and splashed creek water. The module is not submersible; remove it before wading deeper than waist level or hunting in heavy downpours.
Pairing with the Z-Lynk Transmitter System
The WR-1 receiver pairs with the separately sold Z-Lynk WT-1 transmitter module, which connects to your Garrett AT Pro or AT Gold detector via a 2-pin headphone cable. The transmitter mounts to the detector's control box and broadcasts audio signals to the WR-1 on your headphones. Both modules operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency band with 20 kHz bandwidth, preserving the high-fidelity audio range AT detectors produce. The system supports operation on both VLF single-frequency detectors and pulse multi-frequency models like the ATX. Frequency-hopping technology cycles through available channels automatically, so you never manually select a clear frequency when hunting near other wireless users.
