3. Configuració

3.1 Connexió dels auriculars

The DT 990 PRO headphones feature a fixed single-sided coiled cable terminating in a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo jack. For compatibility with professional audio equipment, a 6.35mm (1/4") screw-on adapter is included.

  1. Identify the audio output port on your device (e.g., audio interface, mixing console, amplifier, computer).
  2. If your device has a 3.5mm jack, plug the headphone cable directly into the port.
  3. If your device has a 6.35mm jack, screw the provided 1/4" adapter onto the 3.5mm plug of the headphone cable, then insert it into the device's audio output.

Nota important: The DT 990 PRO 250 ohm version has a high impedance. For optimal performance and volume, it is highly recommended to use these headphones with a dedicated headphone amplifier or an audio interface/mixing console with a powerful headphone output. Connecting directly to low-power devices like some smartphones or laptop headphone jacks may result in lower volume and reduced audio quality.
