VIBRAPHONE Victim Location System

The ASB8-C vibraphone, known to rescue teams all over the world, makes it possible to detect a victim buried under rubble after a catastrophe and to find their exact position.

The slightest noise the victim makes can be detected by this device, whose sensitivity is exceptional .

The vibraphone is fitted with an adjustable filter which deadens the effect of dull noises like pneumatic drills, lorries passing, etc.

The national reference guide specifies that at least two electronic listening packs should be carried in vehicles or with ‘rescue / clearance’ teams.
