Whats New?
The new characteristics of the latest Simplex models is their enhanced ergonomics and reduced weight. The previous Simplex+ weighed roughly 1.4kg, while the latest Simplex Lite, BT & Ultra model is even lighter, weighing just 1.2kg. As a result, these metal detectors rank among the lightest on the market, providing ease of handling and comfort during extended use.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced detectorist, the new Simplex models cater to your needs by offering a variety of advanced features. The Simplex Lite, the most affordable option, is ideal for those seeking a user-friendly device without Bluetooth capabilities, but it still allows you to connect your preferred wired headphones.
On the other hand, the Simplex BT provides Bluetooth connectivity and serves as a replacement for the previous Simplex+ model. For those seeking the ultimate detecting experience, the Simplex Ultra offers an array of new modes and settings, including improved recovery speed, and even includes Bluetooth headphones as part of the Simplex Ultra WHP package.
All models have undergone an upgrade to operate at 15kHz, surpassing the previous frequency of 12kHz, thereby providing optimal detection capabilities across various scenarios. The latest generation of Simplex has witnessed notable improvements in hardware, software, and ergonomics, resulting in a more efficient and precise detecting experience.
