The Gold Series Advantage is the balance achieved between comfort, noise
attenuation and purity of sound. No compromises. No excuses.
Natural replication of amplified sound.
Real audiophiles understand that for purity of sound an analog
sound system is superior to a digital sound system, however, digital
systems can correct imperfections or enhance and modify sound better
than analog systems. Most active hearing protectors or stereo
headphones employ one technology or the other. Our engineers at
Pro-Ears were not willing to compromise for the sake of simplicity or
cost. The result is the hybrid digital/analog system found exclusively
in the Gold Series active hearing protectors. Clear sound, clear
commands, real advantage.
To further enhance the natural sound
quality we use gold connectors and high quality amplifiers and
microphones to reduce impedance. Our proprietary software reduces
interference caused by wind while enhancing the sounds you want to
hear. Advancements to our exclusive
DLSC™ technology for
compression turn an impulse sound wave from a gunshot into a soft,
audible pop. Finely engineered circuitry with proprietary programming
has reduced
attack time to
1.5 milliseconds. We provide adjustable gain control so you can adjust
the industry leading
sound
amplification to match your situational needs.
Two are better than one. Most
electronic hearing protectors are controlled by a single circuit board.
One circuit board may cost less and be lighter weight but when it comes
to sound quality it is a compromise Pro-Ears is not willing to make. A
circuit board in each cup means no wires to get hung up during a forced
entry. In a rough situation where your ear muffs get banged around or
dropped, one damaged circuit board will not knock out your whole
system. The ability to adjust each cup to match your personal hearing
profile is part of the competitive advantage. 8 X sound amplification
let's you hear them before they hear you - now that is an advantage
worth talking about.
So
comfortable you won't mind wearing these earmuffs all day. There
is an unavoidable trade off in designing earmuffs between compression
of the headband and noise attenuation. Sound pressure waves penetrate
hearing protectors through the cup, ear cushion and any gap separating
the cushion and the surface of your head. One way to reduce gaps is to
tightly squeeze the cups to your head. The problem with this approach
is that the tighter the squeeze, the greater the headache. This is
particularly true if the ear cushion does not balance the resistance and
compensate for the headband compression, which causes the hard cup
material to press against your head. Most people only wear uncomfortable
earmuffs for short periods of time, and as a result their hearing is at
greater risk. Our designers have found a method to reduce the gaps and
increase the effectiveness of the ear cushions. Our use of
visco-elastic foams and exclusive Pro Form™ leather in our ear cushion
provides an optimum balance of noise attenuation and resistance to
headband compression. Before you buy your earmuffs you should squeeze
the ear cushions. If they compress easily or if they are made of vinyl
(think sweat) you should think about how long-term wear will feel. We
believe our ear cushions not only perform great but feel good too. Once
you try our ear muffs we think you will agree.
Our reliability gives you the confidence to
be your best. The ability to focus is essential for top
performance. Fear of equipment failure takes away from your focus.
That is why we take pride in being the first company to install an
8 bit microprocessor that
runs continuous diagnostics on all critical components and ensure your
earmuffs are in top working order. An LED light tucked into the ear
muff informs you your system is working. An audible low battery alert
gives you plenty of warning that you need to change your battery before
it fails. Military grade circuit boards are used to reduce failure due
to handling and the elements. The auto shut-off feature extends
battery life so when you need it you can count on power. We believe in
our American made electronic ear muffs so much, we have provided the
longest, most comprehensive warranty in the industry. We can afford to
back up our product with a generous warranty because so few Pro-Ears
fail. Independently tested and certified. Wearing Pro-Ears can help
ensure you will be your best.
What is the difference between Pro Tac and the regular Gold models?
The Pro Tac models are essentially the same as the traditional gold models and have the same electronic technology. However, the differences are the Pro Tac models:
- Include an option of “N” size Battery or Lithium 123a batteries –which are more commonly found in law enforcement and military service equipment
- The cup emblem is grey and more subdued
- Cup is slightly narrower at the bottom for the slim and mag models
Warranty
Reliability is part of the advantage.
