Plantronics SoundGuard® Acoustic Safety Technology

Whether you are using a headset in the office or on the road, or you are a health and safety officer responsible for your employees, hearing protection should be a guarantee, not a luxury. For over 50 years, Plantronics has been dedicated to creating headsets that not only meet legal requirements but provide customers with a safe and comfortable audio experience, without sacrificing audio quality. While Plantronics Manager Pro allows enterprise’s to monitor and manage their employee acoustic safety and wellbeing.

Plantronics promises to deliver our customers with products that will protect them from long term daily noise exposure as identified by the US OSHA and EU Noise at Work regulations and identify and remove acoustic startle events, which are generally sudden loud sound that are either uncomfortable, surprises or startles a person or can potentially become stress inducing. Examples of such events include network interference, a dropped handset at the far end, or even a whistle blown by a malicious caller.

To ensure a superior – and safe – audio experience Plantronics headsets come equipped with a fail-safe acoustic protection technology, called SoundGuard™ that delivers a virtually instantaneous attack time to remove impulse and long duration disturbance noise levels that would exceed 118 dBA.  Plantronics SoundGuard Digital uses sophisticated algorithms to provide additional acoustic protection, above and beyond the impulse and long duration protection provided by SoundGuard while maintaining natural sounding speech.
