Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless System Transmitter & Receiver with 1/4-Inch Jack

The Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless System is a transmitter-and-receiver kit that converts wired headphones with a 1/4-inch plug into wireless operation on most metal detectors. Designed for detectorists who already own a preferred wired headphone and want wireless freedom without replacing the headphone itself, the Z-Lynk delivers a 17-millisecond audio delay (six times faster than Bluetooth) and runs up to 30 hours per charge. The system works with both VLF (single-frequency) and pulse (multi-frequency) detectors, giving Garrett ACE owners and users of other brands a wireless option that preserves the audio characteristics of their existing headphones.

What's Included with the Garrett Z-Lynk System

• Z-Lynk transmitter module (WT-1) with 1/4-inch jack connector
• Z-Lynk receiver module (WR-1) with 1/4-inch jack connector
• Two micro-USB charging cables

Why Detectorists Running Garrett ACE and Other Wired-Headphone Detectors Reach for the Z-Lynk

• Wireless freedom without replacing your headphones: the Z-Lynk lets you keep using the wired headphone you already trust, eliminating the cable tether without forcing a headphone upgrade.
• 17-millisecond audio delay eliminates the lag that ruins target identification: the system is six times faster than Bluetooth and up to four times faster than competing wireless kits, so you hear the detector's signal in real time.
• 30-hour runtime per charge keeps you in the field: recharge both modules via micro-USB from a laptop, car USB port, or phone charger, and the lithium-ion batteries deliver a full day of hunting on a single charge.
• Frequency-hopping technology prevents interference: the 2.4 GHz band with frequency hopping creates an infinite number of channels, so nearby wireless devices and other detectorists' headphones won't disrupt your audio.
• Nearly universal compatibility across detector brands: the Z-Lynk works with most VLF and pulse detectors that have a 1/4-inch headphone jack, including the full Garrett ACE series (ACE 150, 200, 200i, 250, 300, 300i, 350, 400, 400i, EuroACE) and GTI 2500, plus detectors from other manufacturers with the same connector.

Water-Resistant Construction for Light Rain and Heavy Rain Hunting

The Z-Lynk transmitter (WT-1) carries an IP64 rating and protects against heavy rain, while the receiver (WR-1) is IP52-rated for light rain. Both modules are water-resistant but not submersible, so the system is built for land hunting in wet conditions but not for wading or beach surf work. The transmitter plugs into the detector's headphone jack and clips to your belt or detector harness; the receiver plugs into your wired headphone's 1/4-inch jack and clips to your shirt or hat. Each module includes an auto-off function that powers down after 30 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery.

The Z-Lynk system is designed for detectorists who hunt with Garrett metal detectors and other brands that use a 1/4-inch headphone jack. The transmitter and receiver modules are lightweight and unobtrusive, and the micro-USB charging ports let you top up the batteries from any USB power source. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), so the system handles cold-weather hunts and summer heat without performance loss.
