APPROVAL: ISOtunes® ORIGINAL 2.0 is tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974

Specifications and the European Safety Standard EN 352-2:2002.

ANSI S3.19-1974:

The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when ISOtunes® ORIGINAL 2.0 headphones are worn as

directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fitting.

A1: Frequency (Hz)

A2: Mean Attenuation (dB) A3: Standard Deviation (dB)

Example:

  1. The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
  2. The NRR of ISOtunes® ORIGINAL 2.0 is 27 dB.
  3. The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 73dB.

Please note that the NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise, such as gunfire.

EN352:

B1: Frequency (Hz)

B2: Mean Attenuation (dB) B3: Standard Deviation (dB)

B4: Assumed Protection Value (APV) (dB) B5:

H = Hearing protection estimation for high frequency sounds (f ≥ 2000Hz)

M = Hearing protection estimation for medium frequency sounds (500 Hz < f < 2000Hz)

L = Hearing protection estimation for low frequency sounds (f ≤ 500Hz)
