PACS Pro 15 – For use in Acoustic and Orchestral environments

Description

Custom Hearing Protection designed for Acoustic and Orchestral environments

PACS Pro15 custom earplugs provide more subtle attenuation which is perfect for use in acoustic or orchestral environments, sloping up in the higher frequencies for protection against heavily played wind instruments. The vented design offers reduced occlusion, making communication and vocal performances sound more natural – resulting in a plug that is more transparent to the wearer. The complete plug (custom-made in soft silicone) offers one of the most comfortable hearing protection solutions for unplugged musicians, with the additional benefit of water resistance for increased longevity. PRO 15 earplugs represent the next generation of musicians hearing protection.

Better Hearing Protection for Acoustic Musicians

The PACS Pro15’s attenuation curve is the result of a very specific design that satisfies two essential requirements. Firstly, the requirement of acoustic musicians to be able to hear what they’re doing whilst being protected from peaks in higher frequencies but where the overall noise is lower than for many other musicians. The PACS Pro 15 solves this with a flat 12dB protection up to the midrange and then a gentle curve up to 15dB at the high end where many of the dangerous blasts from wind instruments sit. Second is the requirement for a hearing protector that conforms to the European Standard for hearing protection for use under the Noise at Work regulations. The EN352-2 standard specifies minimum protection values at specific frequencies, and creating a low noise hearing protector can be difficult without dipping below these values. PACS Pro 15 custom earplugs provide protection that’s not only perfectly suited to the acoustic musician but also meets the requirements of EN352-2 so the musician and politician are perfectly happy.

The PACS PRO Filter Series is smaller, without any Protrusion

The PACS PRO filter series has been designed anew with the wearer in mind. The filter is smaller than many competing filters, meaning it can fit into smaller ears without any protrusion – which is great for both comfort and aesthetics. The filters are also user-swappable, so you can chop and change as your environment demands to any other filter in the PACS PRO range, giving you complete control over your protection with just a single set of earmoulds. In addition to this, the PACS PRO series are water-resistant so they can be used outside or in high moisture environments and can withstand perspiration without it damaging the filter membrane.

PACS Pro 15 – A Natural Sounding Earplug without the Boom

Trying to create a natural sounding earplug is no mean feat as far as your voice is concerned. As you may have experienced, when you block off your ear canal, your own voice starts to boom inside your head (this is what we call occlusion). This is caused by sound that is carried to your ear canal through the cartilage at the side of your head, which usually escapes through the open ear canal so is not heard. When we block off the canal, this sound cannot escape and so creates that booming effect.

A large amount of occlusion can be eliminated by ensuring that the earplug sits deep enough into the ear canal to extend past the cartilage. This ensures that the sound hits the plug and is deadened rather than entering the canal at all. The PACS PRO filters go one step further by being vented to allow sound to pass both ways. This means that remaining sound can escape directly through the filter, providing one of the most natural sounding earplugs available.

PACS Pro 15 ear plugs are Tailor-made for the best fit and comfort

The PACS Pro 15 ear plug is custom-made using soft medical-grade silicone, so you get the very best in isolation and fit, allowing you to wear them for hours at a time without fatigue or discomfort. Each custom earpiece is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring you get a comfortable, discreet and effective hearing protector that can be fitted quickly, easily and securely every time.

Certified Hearing Protection and the highest Standards

PACS Pro 15 ear plugs and filters have been tested and certified to EN352-2: The European Standard for ear plug hearing protectors, which is almost identical to the AS/NZS1270 standards.
