Hearing protection with Active listening microphones. Active provides situational awareness, allowing you to communicate with your colleagues, hear warning signals and other important information without removing your hearing protector, allowing you to stay protected from hazardous noise. Microphones in each ear cup ensure perfect directional hearing. The level dependent electronic protection system limits all sounds through the speakers to a safe level.
Features:
Level Dependent Active Listening
Level-dependent microphones with Active Listening functionality in each ear cup lets you stay alert to your surroundings while still wearing your hearing protection. Communicate with your colleagues, and hear warning signals and other important sounds without ever compromising your safety and hearing. Read more
Rotary knob controls
Quick and easy operation with rotary control knobs. Rubber coated for good grip.
EPS (Electronic Protection System)
The sound from the speakers is limited to a maximum of 82 dB.
3.5mm AUX input
Sound sources and devices such as music players or two-way radios can be connected via the 3.5 mm audio input for listen-only purposes.
Quick and easy helmet mounting
The helmet-mounted hearing protector is the ideal choice for any work that requires head- and hearing protection. Equipped with a 30 mm attachment blade, the hearing protector is mounted on to your helmet within seconds.
SLC80 26dB
This hearing protection product complies with the Australia/New Zealand standard and has been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1270.
It has an SLC80 rating of 26 (which in rough terms means it blocks about 26dB of noise) and is a Class 5 hearing protector.
- Class 1: SLC80 10–13 - Suitable for <90 dB noise levels
- Class 2: SLC80 14–17 - Suitable for <90-95 dB noise levels
- Class 3: SLC80 18-21 - Suitable for <95-100 dB noise levels
- Class 4: SLC80 22-25 - Suitable for <100-105 dB noise levels
- Class 5: SLC80 ≥26 - Suitable for <105-110 dB noise levels
SLC80 Explained
Under AS/NZS 1270:2002, hearing protection is tested for its Sound Level Conversion (SLC80) rating, which indicates the difference between the environmental noise and the sound reaching the wearer’s ears. This rating helps determine the appropriate Class of hearing protection for specific noise levels.
Australian and New Zealand workplaces are obligated under AS/NZS 1269.3:2005 to:
- Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
- Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
- Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.
Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.
NRR 23
An NRR of 23 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 23 decibels across various frequencies.
'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
NRR is primarily used as a rating system in North America, while Europe often uses 'SNR' (Single Number Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.
SNR 29
An SNR of 29 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 29 decibels across various frequencies.
'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.
SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.
