How to Connect the Cable

At the end that connects to the headphone, the lockable connecting cable is fitted with a 3-pin mini XLR cable connector.

To connect the connection cable correctly, make sure the small release nose must face the outside of the headphone.

Make sure that the cable socket snaps into the housing of the DT 1990 PRO MKII.

Diagram Description: A close-up view of the headphone's connector port on the left earcup. An arrow points to a small "Release nose" on the 3-pin mini XLR connector. Another diagram shows the connector being inserted into the headphone socket, with the release nose facing outwards.

⚠️ Connect the stereo jack plug of the cable to a headphone output only! If you connect the DT 1990 PRO MKII to any other jack socket, it could be damaged.

Maintenance

For reasons of hygiene, you should occasionally clean the headband and ear pads with a soft cloth moistened with water. Make sure that no water enters the housing or transducers.

If necessary, you can carefully remove the headband and ear pads and clean them with mild soapy water.

⚠️ Never use any solvent cleaning agents! Furthermore, the pads must be completely dry before they are re-attached to the DT 1990 PRO MKII.

⚠️ Never use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the DT 1990 PRO MKII, as this may cause irreparable damage.

As headband and ear pads are subject to natural wear and tear, it is necessary to replace them from time to time. You can easily do this yourself.

If other components need to be replaced, please contact your responsible beyerdynamic representative.

How to Change the Ear Pads

Carefully pull the ear pad off the mounting ring.

Insert the plastic lip of the new ear pad into the groove of the housing.

Turn the ear pad as indicated by the arrow until the lip of the entire pad is sitting over the mounting ring.

Diagram Description: Illustrations show how to remove an ear pad by pulling it off the mounting ring. A new ear pad is shown being inserted into the groove of the housing and rotated until it is securely attached.
