2. Safety Instructions
Please read and follow these safety instructions carefully to ensure safe operation and prolong the life of your headphones:
- Hearing Protection: Avoid listening at high volume levels for extended periods to prevent hearing damage.
- Environmental Conditions: Do not expose the headphones to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
- Liquid Exposure: Keep the headphones away from water and other liquids. They are not water-resistant.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the headphones. This will void the warranty and may cause damage.
- Cable Care: Handle the cable gently. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling.
3. Setup
Setting up your Behringer BH30 headphones is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the headphones and any included accessories from the packaging.
- Identify Connector: The BH30 headphones come with a standard 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack. For devices requiring a larger connection, a threaded 1/4-inch (6.35mm) TRS adapter is included and can be screwed onto the 3.5mm jack.
- Connect to Audio Source:
- For devices with a 3.5mm headphone output (e.g., smartphones, laptops, tablets), plug the 3.5mm jack directly into the port.
- For devices with a 1/4-inch headphone output (e.g., DJ mixers, audio interfaces, amplifiers), screw the 1/4-inch TRS adapter onto the 3.5mm jack, then plug it into the device's output. Ensure the adapter is securely threaded.
- Adjust Headband: Place the headphones on your head and adjust the headband sliders on both sides until the earcups comfortably cover your ears and the headband rests gently on your head.
4. Operating
Once connected, your BH30 headphones are ready for use:
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume directly on your audio source (e.g., mixer, computer, smartphone). The BH30 headphones do not have an inline volume control.
- Noise Isolation: The closed-back design of the BH30 provides passive noise isolation, reducing external distractions and preventing sound leakage. This is particularly beneficial in loud environments like DJ booths or studios.
- Single-Ear Monitoring: The earcups are designed to swivel, allowing you to easily pivot one earcup away from your ear for single-ear monitoring, a common practice for DJs.
- Comfort: The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband are designed for comfort during long listening sessions. Ensure a proper fit to maximize comfort and sound quality.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help preserve the performance and appearance of your BH30 headphones:
- Cleaning Ear Cushions: Gently wipe the faux leather ear cushions with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely before use.
- Cleaning Headband and Exterior: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headband and other exterior surfaces.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
- Cable Care: Do not wrap the cable too tightly around the headphones. Avoid putting stress on the cable connections.
