Who has sun-ray gold headphones

[Wheatie43]

I made my own adapter on my At-pro and bought some sun-ray gold headphones.When i switch my limiter switch sound goes from my headset to the speaker on detector is this the way it suppose to work? Cause instuction on the headphone says this function may vary from detector to detector whether the limiter is incorporated in the detector.Any help?

My Sunray don't do that with any machine I have. Don't have an adaptor for the at though.

My sunrays have never done that either. I haven't tried them on the At PRO yet as I don't have an adapter but I have used them on Garrett's GI-1500, GTAx-1250 and GTAx-550 and they worked fine on those machines. I've used them on Minelabs, Fishers, Teknetics, and Whites machines too and never had any trouble with them.

Do you have sound from the speaker when the headphones are not plugged in?

Sure its not the stereo mono switch?

 

[Wheatie43]

Yes the speaker works on the detector when its unplugged.on the other switch which is the mode it works fine.Its on the limitor side.I connected it to my Ace 250 and switch the limitor it has sound in one position and nothing in the other position.Its the oppisite on the At-pro. may have my wires cross on the 1/4 plug that i made?

 

[leslie]

Yes, try swapping the red and white wires round on your 1/4 plug, and see how that works.

I suspect it is the way I wired my plug as well but not an issue as long as switch is in position to bypass external speaker.

 

[Wheatie43]

Thank you Ray-Mo! I tried switchin the red and white wires its the same thing so it must have a built in limiter in the unit.

in the circuit...it's just the black and white...hook the white to the Left and right and the black to the ground .....when the headphone's plug in they put resistance in the circuit causing the internal speaker to go silent....since the waterproof plug is not like other mechanical stereo jack's they do it electronically...

the limiter switch is some how tricking it into thinking it's unplugged....Ill bet if you hook the white to left and right then it will work forget the red... put switch in stereo on the phone's and see if the limiter start's working...

Weird aint it the way headphone's can be wired..
