Aeris - Ion AT400 DVT
Features:
The AT400
DVT features an
environmentally sealed, over-balanced diaphragm
first stage with Oceanic's
DVT feature, a retracting plug that keeps
water out of the first-stage inlet even if the
first stage is dunked without the dust cap in
place. The new Ion's pneumatically balanced
second stage is among the smallest of this test
group, but it sports a large inhalation control
knob to regulate breathing resistance at depth,
a Dive/Pre-Dive switch to stop surface
free-flows, and a stainless steel inline swivel
that increases your range of motion.
Performance: The Ion feels light in the
mouth due to its small size and
ABS/Polycarbonate
composite construction, plus it's a great
breather, as evidenced by perfect scores on the
ANSTI breathing
machine. A large, flexible front purge cover is
easy to find and clears the reg easily, while
the swept-back exhaust tee provides
better-than-average bubble displacement. The
breathing resistance knob travels 2.5 full
rotations, offering a substantial range of
adjustment, and it clicks to let you know when
the reg's fully detuned. The Dive/Pre-Dive
switch, located directly above the breathing
resistance knob, is a little small but not hard
to find, and the inline swivel tracks nicely
with head movement, reducing those annoying
hose tugs.
Bottom
Line: A great all-around performer at a
reasonable price.
