In an effort to enhance worker satisfaction on the job, Bilsom has upgraded its Radio and Electo radio earmuffs to include both AM and FM capability.

In an effort to enhance worker satisfaction on the job, Bilsom has upgraded its Radio and Electo radio earmuffs to include both AM and FM capability.

The earmuffs feature an external switch to make it easy for users to select the desired frequency band, and the Electo model is available in both headband and cap-mounted versions.

In addition to an AM/FM radio, the Electo model allows wearers to hear important communications, such as co-workers, alarms and other warning signals, at a safely amplified level, while listening to the radio.

Directionally positioned microphones provide more natural hearing.

Through advanced response technology, the Electo model amplifies incoming sounds to 82dB, then acts as a passive earmuff for sounds above 82dB.

Both the Radio and Electo models feature a modernised headset design to improve worker acceptance, and broad ear cushions that fit comfortably around the ear.

The non-deformable dual headband design improves comfort and minimises pressure on the head, while an inner-ventilated headband breathes more easily in humid climates.

Both earmuffs come with an adjustable, Quick-Click outer headband that remains fixed in use to ensure a comfortable fit.

Radio earmuffs provide an easy-to-access radio volume control, while the Electo line offers independent volume controls that allow radio and sound amplification volumes to be controlled separately and enable the wearer to customise radio/outside noise balance.

Both models provide a sound level limitation feature to ensure that the sound level does not exceed 82dB.

Both of Bilsom's newly upgraded earmuffs feature a rugged construction to stand up to the most demanding uses.

The new AM/FM models will be available in March 2005, and will be a running change to the existing models.
