so many settings, so many answers...
I have always left my audio response set to Normal, but I know that Angel sets his to Long.
Try it both ways on a silver test coin and see which you prefer.

I have experimented with this in the past, but I prefer the Normal setting as well.
But coming from Angel... Long just might be something to revisit.
There a few settings on the E-Trac that can help you achieve that Sweet Silver Sound your after. Setting the Tones to Multi is a given, but the following adjustments have an effect as well...
1. Tone Variability (30)
2. Tone Limits (29)
3. Threshold Pitch
Here is Angel's notes on the first two settings.
Threshold Pitch plays right into the above two settings. I use a setting of 17. The factory default is 15. Next time you get a deep coin try adjusting this setting up or down. You can actually change the pitch of the tonal response in a given range with this setting. As Angel mentioned in his detailed guide to settings for the E-Trac, this setting is one of preference. This is due to the fact that everyone's hearing ability is not the same. Headphones also vary in their response. So the way I have adjusted this setting is quite simple.Originally Posted by angellionel link=topic=803.msg10291#msg10291 date=1264709498
1. Bury 3 coins side-by-side at about 5 inches deep. A Clad Dime, a Copper Penny, and a Silver Dime.
2. Move the coil over each coin and note the ID. Hopefully the Silver Dime will come in at 12-45, and the Clad Dime/Copper Penny at 12-44.
3. Now adjust your pitch threshold up or down until That Silver Dime stands out compared to the other 2 coins. Experiment with extreme settings on this to hear what the setting is doing to the tones. Try a setting of 1, then 30. What do you hear? A high Tone Variability setting is critical (30) for this to be noticeable.
For me, and my hearing using the Pro Gold headphones 17 is the magic number. I do really believe a Response setting of Long is important for a better result. Yes, Quarters at shallow depths will sound great as well, but you should be digging those anyway. Good gas money. lol

I just did a bench test and I was shocked,i waved a mercury dime in front of the coil on smooth instead of normal and it whistled 2 inches deeper than normal did. All I have to say is wow the other 2 opitions I did not try yet
