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 sound quality for the sake of simplicity or cost. The result
is the hybrid digital/analog system found exclusively in the Gold Series
active hearing protectors.
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 jack-hammer into a soft,
audible pop, pop, 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 than two boards,
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 as you are moving around dangerous equipment. 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.
So comfortable you won't mind wearing these earmuffs all day. There
is a trade-off in designing earmuffs between a comfortable level of
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. The use of
visco-elastic foams and exclusive ProForm™ 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 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 product
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.
