Mammut - Barryvox S, digital / analog avalanche transceiver with 3 antennas
Updated software BarryHeart 3.4 pre-installed.
The new Mammut Barryvox S avalanche transceiver replaces the Mammut Pulse model in 2017.
The new Barryvox S transceiver is one of the best avalanche search devices in the world. Its strong points are the ease of use thanks to the clear instructions and simple navigation, the wide reception capacity which allows an effective search in a 70m digital and 80m analogue strip.
The Barryvox with its clear display that is visible even with polarized glasses, the buttons that can also be used with gloves, the waterproof and shock-resistant shell and the revolutionary, easy-to-use graphic interface is proof that a device with high performance and super research effective does not have to be complicated to use.
The Barryvox you know benefits from the reliability and experience guaranteed by 45 years of development, produced and designed completely in Switzerland.
The new generation of Barryvox maintains the same reliability that the previous generation devices were known for, at the same time we have made many improvements in terms of usability and performance.
In any case, the Barryvox is not only the device with one of the widest reception bands and one of the widest usable search strips on the market. In addition to these technical features, the Barryvox excels in ease of use. This is because we are convinced that if a device can be used with eyes closed then it will truly be usable in an emergency situation.
The high performance and ease of use translate into time savings, which is essential in emergency situations where researchers are under stress. In these situations the new generation of Barryvox helps you find the buried quickly and easily.
Registering BARRYVOX® devices
By registering your Barryvox, Mammut guarantees you a 3-year warranty extension which, added to the standard warranty, will guarantee you 5 years of warranty. You will also always be updated on software updates.
Registration is very simple, just scan the QR code found on the device packaging.
Powerful Search
Search strip 70m wide in digital and 80m in analogue, when performance saves lives.
If you want to evaluate the performance of an avalanche locator, one parameter to definitely take into consideration is the width of the search strip.
Large circular reception bands mean that the signal transmitted from the buried person will be detected faster. The wider the search strip, the shorter the distance to be covered on the land affected by the avalanche and therefore the buried will be found more quickly.
With a 70m digital and 80m analog search strip and a wide and reliable reception band (70m digital and 95m analog) the Barryvox is one of the best devices in the world.
We insist on better performance because we know that improving search time means saving lives.
Easy to use
Completely revised user interface, when simplicity is security.
Performance only brings benefits if the user can simply exploit it. We have therefore completely revisited the way to use the Barryvox, from start to finish. From a display that is easily readable in any situation, even with polarized glasses, to the buttons that can be used even when wearing gloves, to shock resistance, waterproofness, through an intuitive acoustic guide to the simple user interface, the Barryvox is the proof that a great performing device doesn't need to be difficult to use.
Because we know that only a simple to use avalanche transceiver device will save lives in an emergency.
Smart Search - Straight to the middle means speed
Smart Search, when effective guidance takes you to your goal faster.
In addition to indicating the distance and direction of the buried subject, the Barryvox® S also guides you incredibly precisely and intuitively during the search.
In complex burial situations it remains reliable even under stress. Simply put: just follow the arrow.
Multiple burials: when the marking function leads to faster localization
The classic search scenario involves a buried person and one or more search personnel. In reality, however, we are not always in this situation. In Switzerland, around 40% of avalanche victims find themselves in situations where more than one person is buried, which makes the search more complex.
Devices without the marking function can bounce the rescuer between different buried victims, wasting precious time and reducing the chances of survival of the people involved.
The marking function allows the rescuer to search for each buried person individually. The device filters the signals of the various buried subjects, when the rescuer finds the first buried person he can immediately move on to the second.
Marking: when the marking function is simple
All buried subjects are stored in a list and can be marked. The Barryvox recognizes the buried and adds them to the list. The marking function allows you to individually mark buried subjects as "found". The recognition of multiple signals and the marking function make it possible to find multiple burials without having to use particular search methodologies.
BarryMount harness
The BarryMount is a high quality chest harness for wearing the Barryvox and Barryvox S devices. It is simple to put on and can be quickly adjusted and opened and closed with a single hand.
The harness guarantees the impossibility of involuntary activation of the search mode, guaranteeing your safety during the trip. It also protects the Barryvox both during rides and during transport. At the end of the season you can simply wash it in the washing machine at 30°. Clean and ready for the next adventure.
