Operating Instructions
The Sennheiser IE 100 PRO are passive in-ear monitors designed for direct connection to an audio source. They do not feature active noise cancellation or built-in media controls on the cable itself, relying on the connected device for volume and playback management.
1. Connecting to an Audio Source
Connect the 3.5 mm jack of the IE 100 PRO cable to the headphone output of your audio device (e.g., monitoring system, audio interface, smartphone, laptop). Ensure the connection is firm.
2. Volume Adjustment
Adjust the listening volume directly on your connected audio source. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable level to prevent hearing damage.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and maintain the performance of your IE 100 PRO in-ear monitors.
