ATN Unveils X-Sound Hearing Protection

American Technology Network is probably best known for its innovative night-vision and thermal-vision products. Now it is moving from the eyes to the ears with the introduction of the ATN X-Sound Hearing Protection line. Built on the success of its SMART HD Optics technology, ATN X-Sound is designed to protect hearing by reducing noise to safe levels.

“Moving into the hearing protection market is an obvious choice for ATN,” says James Munn, CEO of ATN Corp. “Our X-Sound Hearing Protection ear muffs not only offer noise reduction, but they provide the user with individual controls for adjusting the volume of the surrounding noise levels and separately controlling your media volume. With the ATN X-Sound, you can listen to music and even take that office call while you are sitting in a tree stand.”

The ATN X-Sound Hearing Protection uses NNR 22dB noise-reduction technology. It offers 22+ dB noise reduction while delivering natural sound with omnidirectional microphones. The sound-activated compression circuit has a reaction time of a mere .02 second. Using a Smartphone or other Bluetooth-compatible device, the user can connect their ATN X-Sound Hearing Protection earmuffs to music, podcasts, and phone calls. An audio input jack and two high-gain omnidirectional microphones are built into the earmuffs.

The low-power earmuffs are ergonomically designed with low-profile ear cups that allow for full clearance of a rifle or shotgun stock without having to adjust your earmuffs or the gun. The compact folding design makes storage easy, and the comfortable headband is made on a durable metal frame that keeps the earmuffs from slipping. SRP: $119. (atncorp.com)
