The Allen Ultrax Shield 23dB electronic hearing protection combines advanced sound amplification with reliable noise reduction for shooters who demand clear communication without compromising safety. This electronic earmuff delivers consistent 23dB NRR protection while amplifying ambient sounds up to safe levels.
What Makes This Different
Unlike passive hearing protection that blocks all sound, the Ultrax Shield uses digital sound processing to amplify quiet sounds while instantly cutting harmful noise above 82dB. The fast-acting compression circuitry responds in 0.5 milliseconds to protect hearing from sudden loud sounds. Four independent microphones provide directional sound awareness that passive earmuffs cannot match.
Key Features
- 23dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) certified protection
- Digital sound amplification up to 5x normal hearing levels
- 0.5 millisecond attack time for instant noise suppression
- Dual independent volume controls for left and right channels
- Low-profile design fits under most shooting caps and helmets
- Padded headband and soft ear cushions for extended wear comfort
- Automatic 4-hour shut-off conserves battery life
The Ultrax Shield performs consistently across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, making it suitable for year-round outdoor shooting activities. The amplification circuitry enhances range commands, game movement sounds, and conversation while maintaining full protection during firing sequences. The low-profile ear cups provide adequate clearance for rifle stock placement without compromising the cheek weld.
