Military-grade hearing protection for the mining industry
SPONSORED POST: Advanced 3-D hear-through (3DHT) technology and hearing protection offered by the Ops-Core Adaptive Mission Platform (AMP) communication headsets, are seen as a potential game-changer in the mining industry, offering improved safety and more effective communication between personnel.
The system leverages the industry-leading capabilities of parent-company Gentex corporation, which boasts industrial and military-grade safety hearing protection and world-class audio quality.
3DHT functionality restores and enhances so-called ‘natural hearing’ of the outside environment, to ensure improved situational awareness and safety. The ear-simulator design reproduces ambient sounds with a high degree of directional accuracy, while providing exceptional hearing protection.
The modular headsets can be configured to meet a wide range of needs, for optimal flexibility and performance. Options include headband or helmet-mounted use, single or double hearing protection, single and multi-channel communications and interchangeable skin sets. Optional near field magnetic induction, or NFMI, earplugs are also available, are wireless and do not require batteries.
Additional features include:
- Quick-release downlead connections allow for set-up on left, right or both sides. Can be quickly configured between single, dual or no downlead.
- Easy-to-use ‘Push to Talk’ connection for secure, clear audio transmission in high noise environments
- Ergonomically designed earseals provide a close seal and increased noise attenuation
- Auto shut-down helps preserve battery life and alert tones signal 3DHT shut-down after two hours of inactivity
- AAA lithium batteries provide 115 hours of 3DHT use
- Dual configuration adapts AMP headsets to headband or helmet-mounted options
- Noise-cancelling microphone can be mounted to left or right earcup or can be removed
- Integrated microphone mounting and connection point allows for integration with a standard plug
- The Fail-Safe communications feature powers off 3DHT in the event of battery loss, leaving it in standard communication operating mode
The AMP communication headsets are available from Western Cape-based Hear Technologies Group.
