MALÅ Professional Explorer (ProEx) System

The MALÅ ProEx system is a truly modular and lightweight full-range Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system designed to meet the needs of the advanced professional user. At the heart of this new system is the MALÅ ProEx Control Unit. Designed on a completely new technical platform, the MALÅ ProEx is the most versatile control unit in the MALÅ Geoscience range.

The interchangeable features of the MALÅ ProEx make it available as a single or dual-channel system in the basic configuration, or a true multi-channel system with the optional expansion units. The MALÅ ProEx is fully compatible with all antennas from MALÅ Geoscience, offering configurations between 25 MHz to 2.3 GHz, with up to 16 simultaneous recording channels.

Ethernet communications between the MALÅ ProEx and the MALÅ XV Monitor or a notebook PC ensure safe and reliable data transfer at high speed. Depending on the configuration and the antennas used, the MALÅ ProEx can perform various measurements, including standard reflection surveys, tomography, or velocity (CMP) measurements.
