The DT 1990 PRO MKII from Beyerdynamic is a reference for sound professionals looking for both precision and durability. Designed for mixing, mastering and editing sessions, these open studio headphones offer authentic sound spatiality, allowing each instrument to be located with finesse. With an impedance of 30 ohms, they adapt to various devices, whether in the studio or for home use.

Thanks to the new generation TESLA.45 technology, the DT 1990 PRO MKII produces optimal sound quality with a clear sound, precise bass and attenuated treble to avoid erroneous decisions during mixing. The wide soundstage allows you to perceive every detail, every vibration, every sound nuance, while maintaining a high level of fidelity. Its 45 mm transducers, made in Germany, guarantee consistent performance, even during intensive use. A reliable choice for discerning sound engineers.

The ergonomics of the DT 1990 PRO MKII have been designed to offer an uncompromising user experience. The adjustable headband, covered in memory foam, perfectly fits the shape of the head, while the breathable velvet ear cushions limit pressure. Thus, even during long hours of recording or mixing, comfort remains optimal. In addition, each component is replaceable, an asset for those who wish to invest in durable equipment.

With 2 pairs of interchangeable ear cushions, the DT 1990 PRO MKII allows users to modulate their sound experience between 2 distinct sound signatures:
- The “Producing Velours” ear cushions accentuate the bass for a more immersive sound.
- The “Mixing & Mastering Velours” offer an analytical rendering, ideal for mastering sessions. For added flexibility, Beyerdynamic includes 2 cables: a 3 m straight cable and a 5 m coiled cable, both with secure locking. Versatility tailored to modern studios.

The construction of the DT 1990 PRO MKII is a testament to Beyerdynamic’s German craftsmanship, with precision and premium materials. Its TESLA.45 transducer is measured to strict tolerances, while materials such as anodized metal and durable plastics ensure a long service life. Almost every component is replaceable, meeting the needs of durability and performance in demanding professional environments.
