Walker's recently introduced the new FireMax Ear Muff and Walkie Talkie, which are the result of over three decades of experience developing technology in the industry.

The unit features Walker's Sound Activated Compression (SAC) technology in a streamlined profile, with four frequency modes controlled by soft touch digital buttons. The unit is powered by a 2,000 mAH rechargeable lithium ion battery for over 200 hours of use. 

The FireMax features a digital sound processing system with Active Dynamic Sound Suppression and digital circuitry that allows you to select audio modes for boosting desirable sounds, thus delivering unparalleled clarity. Universal and Power Boost modes enhance overall sounds to specific levels, while Clear Voice and Hi-Frequency modes work better to hear conversations or steel impact.
