Barryvox

The Barryvox from the brand Mammut is an avalanche victim detector (AVD), designed for mountain activities in hazardous terrain: off-piste, freeride, mountaineering, ski touring.

The brand is committed to developing AVDs that are increasingly efficient and easy to use, so that every rescue can be carried out without losing a second.

Ease of use:
In terms of use, Mammut has redesigned its casing and interface: information is simple to read, the device can be operated with gloves on, and the casing is shock-resistant. The backlit screen is readable even with polarised glasses or in bright sunlight. The wrong direction function prevents you from heading in the opposite direction to the victims. To facilitate communication between multiple rescuers, the Barryvox is equipped with an additional W-Link communication channel, which protects you from interference and improves your efficiency. In the event of a multiple burial, the Barryvox offers differentiated marking of victims, which avoids the risk of signal conflicts.

Performance:
This device has a maximum range of 70 metres. The Barryvox assists you in the rescue: the device shows you the distance, the direction to follow, and the number of buried subjects. The audio search guidance helps you locate buried persons more easily. The Barryvox has a battery life of approximately 300 hours in SEND mode and 1 hour in SEARCH mode.

Carrying system:
The BarryMount pouch in which you can slide your Barryvox is of very good quality. Adjustable and practical, it allows one-handed operation without removing your gloves. It also prevents accidental activation of search mode, increasing your safety in the field.

Rescuer safety:
The main button integrates a SafeLock safety feature to avoid any accidental activation of receive mode. The Barryvox also has a DVA Check mode allowing you to verify the proper functioning of the AVDs of people accompanying you, all guided by the device’s instructions. Moreover, if no movement is detected from you for 4 minutes, the Barryvox assumes a secondary avalanche and automatically switches to SEND mode.
