The Welch Allyn Electronic Stethoscope- based upon proprietary technology from Meditron AS- provides superior sound reproduction due to its sensor-based methodology. Other electronic stethoscopes depend upon a microphone for sound reproduction. Unfortunately, no matter the fidelity, microphones pickup ambient noise in the environment transmitted through the stethoscope diaphragm and chestpiece.
The Welch Allyn Electronic Stethoscope utilizes a highly directional, recessed pressure sensor which eliminates much of the ambient noise in the environment while faithfully reproducing body sounds in the same "color" as a traditional Welch Allyn stethoscope. Amplification can be varied as desired by the practitioner.
