Dry & Store Zephyr desiccant system

Moisture build-up from sweat and body oils can ruin the performance of even the best-fitted IEMs. The Dry & Store Zephyr by Ear Technology is an electronic desiccant system, and the only product we have found that, when used consistently, can virtually eliminate the expense and aggravation of moisture-related IEM failure.

The Zephyr is an AC-powered system with a high-efficiency Dry-Brik II desiccant. Just drop your earphones into the drying compartment, snap the lid shut, and turn it on. The Zephyr uses this powerful desiccant in combination with warm, moving air to gently evaporate and expel moisture from your earphones over its 8-hour duty cycle. Its Dry-Brik II desiccant is so powerful, it also acts as a deodorant. A single brick is good for two months; replacements are readily available direct from Sensaphonics.

dB Check In-Ear Level Analyzer

dB Check is the first and only device that measures the sound pressure levels reaching the ear canal. For the first time, users of Sensaphonics earphones can determine their actual monitoring level, and how long they can safely listen at that volume. dB Check is compact, affordable, and easy to use. It’s literally the only way to know exactly how loud your IEM system is running.

For years, musicians have been told that one of the key benefits of going in-ear is the ability to monitor at safer levels, due to the isolation provided by the earphones. But once the earphones were inserted, there was no practical way for the artist to determine actual decibel levels within the ear canal. Until now.
