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 the quality of our sound 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 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 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 getting into your tree stand. 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 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 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.

What is the difference between the Sporting Clay Gold Model and the Predator Gold Model?
The Sporting Clay Gold has an NRR of 25 and the Predator Gold Model has an NRR or 26. This means the Predator Gold model has a little more protection than the Sporting Gold (and Stalker) model.
In addition, the cup shape is different. The Sporting Clays (and Stalker) cup are called a “chop” cut and allow for easy shoulder of a firearm. The Predator cup is a more contoured and stylish cup, however, still allows easy shouldering of the long guns. The cup style is a personal preference. The electronics are the same in both models.
What is the difference between the Sporting Clay Gold Model and the Stalker Gold Model?
The Sporting Clay Gold has an NRR of 25 and the Stalker Gold Model has an NRR or 25. Both models use a “chop” side cup design. The only differences are that the Stalker Gold models are pre-set at the factory on HIGH gain and speaker to ensure maximum amplification while stalking prey. The amplification for the Sporting Clay model is pre-set at LOW which is more ideal for skeet , trap and sporting clays. In addition, only the Stalker model is available in various camo patterns.
