GARRETT ACE 400

Garrett Introduces new ACE Detector Series and ATX Searchcoils!
Dear Garrett Authorized Distributors and Dealers:
Garrett Metal Detectors is proud to announce a new lineup of consumer products for our Sport
Division. The new detectors and accessories are being previewed to our distributors and
associates attending the 2016 SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade) Show in Las Vegas.
Garrett officials detailed features and specifications for six new metal detectors that will revamp
the company’s best selling ACE series. Each of the new ACE detectors include Digital Target
ID—a large, 100-digit target information display for better target identification—as well as stem
locks for additional strength and stability. Customers familiar with Garrett’s previous ACE detec
-
tors will notice a new, more robust audio package included in the new products.
The new flagship of the ACE lineup is the ACE 400, which features the Iron Audio™ feature made
popular on the company’s AT Pro™ and AT Gold™ detectors. Iron Audio allows the user to hear
discriminated iron and to alter the detector’s mid-tone signal range. This helps the operator hear
the iron content in flat steel objects like bottle caps and washers that sometimes trick a detector
into reporting them as good targets.
The ACE 400 includes a higher, 10 kHz frequency to provide better sensitivity to low and medium
conductivity targets, such as gold and lead. The detector’s Frequency Adjust feature allows users
to easily toggle between slight frequency shifts to help eliminate interference from other detectors
or power sources. The ACE 400 ships with an 8.5”x11” DD-configuration PROformance search
-
coil that has proven to be very popular with the company’s previous ACE™ 350 and EuroACE™
detectors. The ACE 400 includes five discrimination modes, electronic pinpointing, sensitivity
adjustment, and High-Resolution Iron Discrimination.
The ACE 400 will ship with three FREE accessories to complement the new release: an 8.5”x11”
DD searchcoil cover; volume-control ClearSound Easy Stow headphones; and a new ACE Envi
-
ronmental Cover-up to protect the control box from rain, dust, and mud. The MSRP for the new
ACE 400 is $399.95 (U.S.).
An international version of the detector, the ACE 400i, will be released simultaneously for dis
-
tributors, dealers, and customers living outside the United States. The 400i will include the same
pricing, the same features listed above, and the three FREE accessories. The Garrett ACE 400i will
differ from the American ACE 400 version in the following ways: the Target ID legend is revised
to remove the U.S. coin denominations; the 400i will include additional pixels of resolution for
iron discrimination; the mid-tone and high-tone audio break points have been re-divided; and the
ACE 400i will have variances in the Mode/Discrimination patterns to better suit the search needs
of our international customers.

Next in the new ACE lineup announced by Garrett is the ACE 300. It features a new 7”x10” con
-
centric PROformance searchcoil (larger than the standard coil previously offered on the ACE 250)
for additional coverage and detection depth. The ACE 300 sports a higher frequency (8 kHz versus
6.5 kHz on the previous ACE 250) for better sensitivity to low and medium-conductivity targets.
Other features of the ACE 300: Digital Target ID; Frequency Adjust; more Iron Discrimination
segments than the previous ACE 250; stem locks for added stability; and three FREE accessories
shipped with each unit. The free items are: a 7”x10” searchcoil cover; volume-control ClearSound
Easy Stow headphones; and a new ACE Environmental Cover-up to protect the control box from
rain, dust, and mud. The MSRP for the new ACE 300 is $299.95 (U.S.).
An international version, the ACE 300i, will be released simultaneously for distributors, dealers,
and customers living outside the United States. The 300i will include the same pricing, the same
features listed above, and the three FREE accessories. The Garrett ACE 300i will differ from the
American ACE 300 version in the following ways: the Target ID legend is revised to remove the
U.S. coin denominations; the 300i will include additional pixels of resolution for iron discrimina
-
tion; the mid-tone and high-tone audio break points have been re-divided; and the ACE 300i will
have variances in the Mode/Discrimination patterns to better suit the search needs of our interna
-
tional customers.
Garrett also announced new ACE 200 and ACE 200i metal detectors, which will round out the
new ACE series offering. These two detectors will become the new entry-point detectors and are
enhanced versions of the company’s previous ACE 150 detector. They will include the new audio
package, the large Digital Target ID system, and camlocks for additional stability. The ACE 200
and ACE 200i each ship with a 6.5”x9” concentric PROformance searchcoil, and operate on a 6.5
kHz frequency. Their U.S. MSRP will be $199.95.
The ACE 200i version will differ from its American version with a revised Target ID Legend, and
revised Mode/Discrimination patterns to better suit the needs of our international customers.
Garrett plans to begin shipping the first ACE 300, ACE 300i, ACE 400, and ACE 400i detectors
during March to its distributors. The on-sale date to customers is currently scheduled for April
1, 2016, to coincide with the company’s anniversary. Garrett plans to release the more advanced
versions of the ACE series first, followed weeks later by the release of the ACE 200 and ACE 200i.
More specific details on product release will be forthcoming from Garrett’s Marketing and Sales
departments in the near future.
Garrett additionally released details of two new, larger 11”x13” closed searchcoils for the ATX
pulse induction detector. Available in either a DD or mono configuration, the new ATX coil will
be lighter weight and offers increased depth versus the standard ATX searchcoil. The new closed
style provides more resistance to scrubbing of the coil against the ground and allows gold pros
-
pectors to use the upper coil deck to sift/find tiny nuggets easier. The new ATX searchcoil includes
an exclusive Garrett design slide-lock system that creates a center-mount style while still allowing
the ATX to collapse into its soft cover carrying case. Designated for a mid-year release, the new
ATX coil will be available as the new standard offering on ATX detectors and can be purchased as
an accessory coil by existing ATX customers. More details and pricing on the new ATX packages
will be forthcoming.
