Beyerdynamic DT 150 manual Maintenance, Safety

Page 11

The microphone should be positioned to the side of the mouth, about 20 - 30 mm forward. This will keep it within the direct sound path but out of the breath stream, therefore minimising any ‘pop’ sounds. Of course every user will be different and a degree of experimentation will be necessary to achieve the preferred result. Professional users should note that it is recommended practise that headsets are issued on an individual user basis to preclude any possible health risks.

Maintenance

As with any equipment which will be used in close proximity to sensitive parts of the body, it is essential that the ear pads, the headband and the microphone pop-shield are kept clean. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the ear-pads and headband using only gentle cleansing agents (such as washing- up liquid). Take care not to allow any water drops into the transducer elements and do not use any solvent cleaners.

The microphone pop-shield of the headset can be easily removed and washed in warm water. Please take care that the pop-shield is completely dry when it is replaced.

The fully modular design of the DT 150 and DT 190 allows for full, in-field serviceability without the need for specialists tools. Every item of the assembly is available as a spare part and no special training is necessary for servicing. The Order Numbers of all of the spare parts are listed under “Spares“, “Supplied Accessories“ and “Optional Accessories“. Please take care to identify the parts required by the Order Number as there are many options, especially for the transducer parts and the cable assemblies.

Safety

When plugging in headphones or headsets to the drive amplifier, we recommend that this is done before it is fitted over the ears for use. This will give the technician the chance to check that the volume levels are not too high. Please remember that the user could well be a highly-paid presenter and the con- sequences of damaging his/her ears may well prove to be music to the ears of the lawyers!

The very low levels of distortion can make listening levels hig- her than is perceived and we have to warn you that listening to programme or talkback at high levels for long periods can permanently damage your hearing.

DT 150 specifications

The Beyerdynamic DT 150 headphones are a well-regarded choice for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. Established as a staple in studios and broadcast environments, they combine exceptional sound quality with robust build and comfort.

One of the primary features of the DT 150 is its closed-back design, which effectively isolates ambient noise. This feature allows users to focus on their audio without distractions, making them ideal for critical listening, mixing, and mastering tasks. The oversized ear pads offer a plush, comfortable fit, ensuring long listening sessions remain fatigue-free.

The DT 150 is equipped with high-performance dynamic drivers that deliver a wide frequency range. With a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz, these headphones present deep bass, well-defined mids, and clear highs. This broad frequency response allows sound engineers to accurately hear the nuances of the music, leading to better production decisions.

Another notable technology in the DT 150 is its low impedance of 250 ohms, making it compatible with a variety of audio sources, including professional studio equipment and consumer devices. The headphones feature a detachable cable, which is an excellent advantage for those who prefer to replace cables instead of purchasing new headphones. This feature significantly enhances the lifespan of the product.

The DT 150’s rugged construction is another highlight, as they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in professional environments. The adjustable headband and flexible hinges contribute to their durability, while the reinforced cable connection minimizes wear and tear.

Comfort is further enhanced by the headphone's rotatable ear cups, which allow for single-ear monitoring—a crucial feature for DJs and audio engineers who need to stay aware of their surroundings while mixing.

In conclusion, the Beyerdynamic DT 150 headphones deliver a blend of comfort, durability, and superior sound quality. With features like closed-back isolation, a wide frequency response, low impedance, and a robust build, they cater to the needs of professionals and music lovers alike. Whether for studio use or casual listening, the DT 150 stands out as a reliable choice in the headphone market. The thoughtful engineering and quality materials ensure that these headphones not only perform exceptionally well but also provide longevity and comfort in various listening scenarios.
