The Allen 4114 Ultrax Electronic Earmuffs deliver professional-grade hearing protection with 23dB noise reduction rating while maintaining situational awareness through advanced sound amplification technology. These electronic earmuffs automatically compress harmful noise levels while amplifying safe ambient sounds, making them essential for shooting sports and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike passive hearing protection that blocks all sound, the Ultrax system uses digital sound processing to distinguish between safe and dangerous noise levels. The electronic circuitry instantly reacts to gunshots and other loud noises, compressing them to safe levels in 0.5 milliseconds while continuing to amplify normal conversation and environmental sounds. This dual-function capability provides superior protection without sacrificing communication or awareness.
