Swedish hearing enhancement specialist Invisio on 19 May announced the launch of its V-Series Gen II platform.
New capabilities in the V-Series Gen II include audio that automatically adapts to the surrounding noise levels, digital signal processing techniques to filter out all unwanted noise, and increased speech intelligibility.
V-Series Gen II combines an X5 in-ear headset, T7 over-ear headset and V60 Gen II control unit to provide a ‘double hearing protection solution for extremely noisy environments’, the company added.
Designed and optimised to meet or exceed MIL-STD 810G requirements, the lightweight and ruggedised V-Series is submersible down to 20m.
‘The removal of any constant radio noise when audio transmission is idle, and the smooth transition from noisy to quieter environments is also part of the new offering,’ Invisio noted. ‘Apart from improving communication and safety, all these new capabilities help to eliminate fatigue caused by noise.’
