Noise Attenuation
APPROVAL: ISOtunes® LINK 2.0 is tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 Specifications and the European Safety Standard EN 352-1:2020, EN 352-6:2020, and EN 352-8:2020.

ANSI S3.19-1974
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when ISOtunes® LINK 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.

1. A1: Frequency (Hz)
2. A2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
3. A3: Standard Deviation (dB)

Example:

1. The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
2. The NRR of ISOtunes® LINK 2.0 is 25 dB.
3. The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 75dB.

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. EN 352 IT-49 ISOtunes LINK 2.0 EN 352 is certified according to the product standards EN 352-1:2020, EN 352-6:2020, and EN 352-8:2020.
