How Did XP Make The WS6-Master Lighter Than The Deus 2?
The WSA-6 module/puck is lighter than the Deus 2 Remote Control/RC which is one of the ways the weight is reduced. But The WS6-Master is shipped with an entirely different shaft. The shaft is lighter which is how XP was able to reduce the weight of the machine. See the photos below. The shaft on the bottom of both images is the shaft of the new WS6-Master.
Are There Different Search Coils Available?
Yes, the WS6-Master can be purchased with either the 9″ or 11″ round DD coil. There will be a 13×11″ DD coil available for purchase in the future.
What Isn’t Included With The WS6-Master?
Compared to the XP Deus 2, the WS6-Master does not include an external speaker, or headphones. In addition, you are limited to 1 “notch” vs the 3 bars of notch that is included with the full version of the XP Deus II.
Are There Wireless Headphones Available For The WS6-Master?
Yes, you will have 3 options to pick from (shown below). All of them are easily paired to the WS6 Module (puck).

However, some customers may prefer wired headphones over wireless and XP offers an additional 1/8″ adapter for purchase that enables the connection of a wired set of headphones.
Is The WS6-Master Waterproof?
The WS6 Module or “Puck” is rainproof but do not submerge the WS6 Module (puck) under water. The WS6 puck is not designed to be submerged underwater. However, it will repel rain.
Does The MI-6 Pinpointer Sync With The WS6-Master?
Yes, the MI-6 can be paired up to the WS6 module (puck).
Can The WS6-Master be Updated via USB?
