Fully Modular
The most versatile control unit in the MALÅ range and successor to the famous RAMAC/GPR CU II. One unit covers 30 MHz to 2.3 GHz — swap Optical and HF modules instead of buying a new system for each job.
Modular GPR Control Unit · 30 MHz – 2.3 GHz
MALÅ Professional Explorer (ProEx)
One control unit for the entire MALÅ antenna library. The ProEx pairs with the rugged MALÅ XV Monitor to run single, dual or full multi-channel surveys — the most versatile GPR platform for the professional user, across utilities, concrete, geology and the environment.
The ideaKeep one control unit. Change antennas and modules to match every survey, from deep geology to concrete NDT.

31pairs max
IP65field-ready
Single To Multi-Channel
Collect simultaneously from two antenna pairs as standard. Add ProEx Expansion Units for up to 8 antennas, or the MIRA extension for 31 antenna pairs.
Built For The Field
The MALÅ XV Monitor is IP65-rated with a sunlight-readable trans-reflective screen and a simple dual-function button, running a nominal 5 hours per battery.
Antenna Families
One Control Unit, The Whole MALÅ Antenna Range.
Because the ProEx drives every MALÅ antenna, you match the antenna to the job rather than the instrument. Lower frequencies reach deeper for geology; higher frequencies give sharper detail for concrete and shallow work.
30 – 100 MHz
Deepest reachRough Terrain (RTA)
Geology, bedrock, groundwater and large-scale mapping over difficult, unprepared ground.

Antenna Modules
Two Modules Unlock The Full Antenna Library.
A choice of antenna module tells the ProEx how to talk to your antenna. Fit the module you need and the same control unit handles everything from a 30 MHz rough-terrain antenna to a 2.3 GHz concrete antenna.
Optical Module
22-002602 · ProEX-OpticalConnects every MALÅ antenna with an optical interface — Shielded, Rough Terrain (RTA) and Borehole antennas.
- Shielded 100 – 800 MHz
- Rough Terrain 30 – 100 MHz
- Borehole antennas
High Frequency Module
22-002603 · ProEX-HFConnects the MALÅ High Frequency antennas, including versions with the EM depth-encoder option, for concrete and shallow high-resolution work.
- HF 1.2 GHz
- HF 1.6 GHz
- HF 2.3 GHz
System Configuration
From Single Antenna To Full Array.
Every ProEx solution combines the control unit and XV Monitor with the antennas and module your survey needs. Start with one antenna and scale up to multi-channel arrays without changing the core system.
Pick The Module
Fit the Optical module for Shielded, RTA and Borehole antennas, or the HF module for the high-frequency concrete antennas.
Connect Your Antennas
Run a single antenna, a dual pair, or a full multi-antenna array — with cross-communication between antenna pairs when needed.
Acquire And Process
Collect in real time on the XV Monitor or a laptop with distance, time or manual triggering, then process and present the data in MALÅ software.
Application Fit
Whatever The Application, ProEx Can Assist.
Because the same control unit spans the full antenna range, ProEx suits teams that work across many survey types instead of buying a separate fixed-frequency instrument for each one.
