Model: Sheer Silence - Deluxe (SS-D)
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Limited
Material: Plasteel, Composites
Description:In an effort to give operatives the peace of mind that they can perform a task without being overheard, STI brings you "Sheer Silence". A portable noise canceling device that creates a 2 meter bubble around the wearer that effectively cuts off sound from escaping the wearer. The unit is effective at keeping all but the loudest sounds from escaping. Only the sound from a shaped charge or similar level explosive device is loud enough to breach the bubbles barrier. And even then only at about the decibel level of a person having a normal conversation. This model is an improve over the older archaic model which could only mask lower volume sounds.
The drawback to this marvel, it the effect is a double blind. There wearer won't be able to hear anything but the loudest noises coming from outside the bubble. (The source for this technology) It is also a bit on the bulky side as compared to the original less powerful model. The energy antenna, which broadcasts the noise canceling bubble, is designed to attach itself to any material on the wearers back. Is is also flexible, so as to conform with light armors such as leather, or heavy fabrics.
Strengths:
Effectively cancels out all but the loudest sounds coming from the wearer to outside listeners.
Weaknesses:
Effectively cancels out all but the loudest sounds coming from outside the bubble to the wearer.
Somewhat bulky
Slightly Fragile
