Bilsom Upgrades Viking™ Series Earmuffs With Air Flow Control™ Technology

Description

Smithfield, RI -- Bilsom has upgraded its popular Viking(tm) Series noise blocking earmuffs to incorporate its patented Air Flow Control™ technology (AFC), which delivers optimal attenuation across all frequencies without increasing earcup size or weight. Viking Series multi-position
headbands give workers the flexibility to wear their earmuffs over-the-head, behind-the-head, or under-the-chin, allowing them to be worn with hard hats, face shields, respirators, and other PPE.

"Our Air Flow Control technology has proven so effective we're extending it to other products in the Bilsom® Noise Blocking earmuff segment," said Bill Sokol, Vice President Strategic Marketing for the Bacou-Dalloz Hearing Safety Group. "As sound travels through the air in our AFC earcups, a
patented baseplate chamber and high-tech non-woven layer manage the flow of air inside the earmuff to control how sound reaches the ear," Sokol explained. "The result is better, more consistent overall attenuation across all frequencies and in almost all industrial noise environments without increasing earcup size or weight."

Air Flow Control Technology has boosted attenuation on the V1 model from 23 to 25, and V2 model from 25 to 27. Attenuation on V3 remains at 29, though with improved lower frequency attenuation.

Designed to provide all-day comfort, Viking Series V2 and V3 earmuffs feature a dual-headband design with an inner ventilated band for better positioning and breathability, and a non-deforming outer headband that minimizes pressure on the head. An improved attached elastic headband strap provides additional comfort and helps to ensure attenuation when earmuffs are worn in other than over-the-head positions. Snap-in ear cushions make replacement quick and easy, and dielectric
construction with rugged ABS plastic makes Viking Series earmuffs suitable for almost all workplaces, and especially for electrical and mining environments.
