Alice Powell uses T-Series
Oxfordshire racer Alice Powell recently undertook her first race on the Valencia Street Circuit for the European Grand Prix.
Alice ended the 40 minute session in 9th place on the Friday practise (her highest ever placing in GP3 Series to date), and finished 11th on Saturday's qualifying. Despite a good start, a series of unfortunate events including a crash resulted in a premature ending to Alice's race.
Commenting on the weekend, Alice said “This weekend has been tough. It started out well, and it shows I am getting closer and getting used to the GP3 car. The races were very action packed and I am gutted that we did not get a decent result. The crash in Race Two was quite painful. I have had my back checked out and all is fine apart from bad bruising on my heels. Huge thanks again to my sponsors and everyone at Status Grand Prix. Hopefully I can reward them with a great result soon ”
Alice is one of our latest additions to use ACS monitors in a racing environment.
She commented on Twitter about her new ACS monitors: 'My T3 earpieces courtesy of @ACSCustomUK ! So comfy & great colour'.
ACS T3™ Single Driver In-Ear Monitors are small, lightweight, discreet and with exceptional accuracy. Alice chose these monitors to be colored a bright fluorescent pink with the ACS logo on the face.

ESPN Rugby presenters
ESPN Rugby presenters use the ACS T3 in-ear monitors to isolate the instructions from the production team from the stadium noise.
Simon Dukes, Head of Rugby at ESPN explained; 'Our Rugby presenters work pitchside and as such have to work around high ambient noise levels whilst presenting. In this type of environment it is difficult for them to hear the producers and guests with standard earpieces. We needed a solution that isolated the radio sound from the ambient noise safely whilst also looking as discrete as possible on camera. ACS' T3 in-ear monitor does just that and now our presenters can hear the producers and guests with much better clarity enabling them to achieve high presentation standards more easily.'
Heather Keenan from Kraft Foods comments
ACS has provided Kraft Foods with not only a top quality hearing protection product, but the care and attention that matches our needs. The European noise at work regulations means Kraft Foods requires a hearing protection supplier that is ready to cater for changes in the workforce at any time to ensure all of our staff are protected. An ACS representative regularly visits to take ear impressions for new employees and the product is always manufactured in impressive time. It is clear to see why ACS has such a good reputation as its hearing protection products are superb and put that together with excellent customer service, it certainly makes my job a lot easier.The easy way to better fitting earphones

Please note - ACS products require good deep impressions in order to create a seal in the ear so it is important there is no wax block in the canal that will stop the audiologist from taking an impression. If you think you may have a wax build up, please visit your local GP for a consultation before booking an appointment with a dealer. You may be charged a fee if the audiologist is unable to take an impression.

Where can I buy ACS products?
ACS products are available from a nationwide network of Audiologists as well as directly from us at our offices in Banbury. You'll need to make an appointment to have impressions taken which will then be sent on to us to allow us to manufacture your custom-fit products. To find your nearest Audiologist see the complete list on our Find A Dealer page. Please note that production time is always dependent upon orders received. The skills and experience involved in making our hand-crafted products are not acquired overnight so employing more staff, whilst increasing our labour force, does not bring an immediate reduction in production time - please bear with us in times of increased demand for our productsDeafness Research UK
