Scenario: A World Gone Dark
Imagine a single event — a massive EMP blast, a solar flare, or another catastrophic electrical surge — disabling electronics for hundreds of miles.
Power grids fail. Communication networks collapse. Access to critical data and coordination is lost in seconds.
When that moment comes, the PULSEPROOF Vault gives your essential electronics a critical layer of shielding.
Engineered Protection You Can Trust
Units reached shielding levels up to roughly 90 dB in a basic bench-test setup. This is a shielding level about 10,000× greater than what typical Faraday bags provide (often around 50 dB). Metal trash cans with tape frequently measure closer to ~35 dB, and microwaves provide little to no meaningful shielding. These alternatives often give a false sense of protection.

The PULSEPROOF Vault is a precision-built aluminum enclosure engineered to provide high levels of electromagnetic shielding. Its welded aluminum body and continuous conductive gasket help create a robust Faraday-style barrier against external interference.
Testing Method & Shielding Validation
To evaluate the shielding performance of the PULSEPROOF Vault, we conducted a series of controlled bench-style RF measurements using compact test equipment and a repeatable setup. These tests were designed to observe how effectively the enclosure reduces electromagnetic signals under controlled conditions.
Inside the Vault, we placed a TinySA Ultra paired with an amplifier and upgraded antenna to generate test signals across a selected range of frequencies. Outside the enclosure, an SDR (software-defined radio) with an external antenna—positioned approximately six feet from the Vault—monitored for any detectable emissions.
We measured signal strength with the lid open and then again with the lid fully closed, adjusting SDR gain settings to account for noise floor and environmental RF conditions. Across the frequencies we evaluated, the observed difference between open-lid and closed-lid readings was typically in the 80–90 dB range. These results indicate a substantial reduction in detectable signal energy when the enclosure is closed.
These measurements provide practical, real-world validation of the Vault’s ability to significantly reduce electromagnetic exposure under controlled test conditions. Shielding data reflects controlled evaluation parameters and is offered as technical reference. While formal EMP-specific certification requires specialized facilities and extreme-energy test environments, our measurements demonstrate the Vault’s strong shielding behavior using reliable RF test tools and repeatable methods.
Usage Tips for Best Performance
- Place the Vault on a non-conductive surface (carpet, rubber, or wood) for maximum shielding efficiency.
- Ensure the lid is fully seated and free of debris.
- Avoid drilling, modifying, or attaching hardware to the Vault, as this may reduce shielding.
- Keep devices fully inside the enclosure without cables or metal objects protruding into the seal.

Usage Considerations
The PULSEPROOF Vault is designed for high-level electromagnetic shielding under typical use conditions. While no enclosure can guarantee protection in every possible EMP or solar-flare scenario, the Vault provides a robust shielding solution for preparedness-minded users. Environmental factors, event intensity, and usage conditions can affect performance.
