THE EVOLUTION OF A STUDIO LEGEND

The DT 1990 PRO MKII open-back studio headphones are the second generation of the popular premium model. They boast improved sound, increased comfort and industry-leading workmanship made in Germany. At the heart is the newly developed TESLA.45 driver technology. Suitable for mixing, mastering and editing, they are the perfect choice for discerning users who want to take their tracks to the next level.

THE OPEN-BACK REFERENCE

Thanks to their open-back design, the DT 1990 PRO MKII offers a natural, spatial sound pattern, which makes them ideal for professional mixing, mastering and editing.

THE NEW GENERATION OF TESLA TECHNOLOGY

The DT 1990 PRO MKII feature the latest generation of TESLA driver technology TESLA.45. Redesigned from the ground up, the 45mm driver system boasts an excellent resolution, extremely low distortion and outstanding impulse behaviour. The TESLA.45 provides signal fidelity even at high volumes. Our engineers have managed to combine studio-sound and flexibility thanks to weight-optimized materials. The DT 1990 PRO MKII has an impedance of 30 ohms, which means that the studio headphones can be used with a variety of end devices.

When it comes to sound, the reference headphones boast precise bass response right down to the lowest octaves. The slightly reduced highs compared to the previous model offer a high amount of information and help to avoid wrong decisions when mixing. Thanks to the wide soundstage, instruments and voices can be precisely pinpointed. The sound transducers are manufactured at the company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany. Each DT 1990 PRO MKII contains two TESLA.45 sound transducers, which are measured several times during the various production steps.

MAXIMUM COMFORT

The DT 1990 PRO MKII is designed for several hours of use in the studio and offers outstanding comfort. The robust, flexible spring steel headband design ensures optimum contact pressure. Thanks to the skin-friendly velour ear pads, the headphones are comfortable to wear even during long sessions. The headband, consisting of soft memory foam and durable leatherette, adapts perfectly to the shape of the head. And thanks to the fontanelle recess, potentially pain-sensitive areas on the head are avoided. Both the headband and the ear pads can be replaced if necessary.

TWO SOUND SIGNATURES

Designed to maximise flexibility, the DT 1990 PRO MKII is supplied with two different types of ear pads. The ‘Producing Velours’ fitted as standard deliver a full sound thanks to a slight bass boost. The ‘Mixing & Mastering Velours’ offer a more analytical sound. Two cables are also included: a 3m straight cable and a 5m coiled cable. Both cables have a lockable 3-pin mini-XLR plug. Everything is safely stored in a high-quality hard case.

INDUSTRY-LEADING WORKMANSHIP

Thanks to our German manufacturing expertise, the DT 1990 PRO MKII sets the benchmark in workmanship and durability. The TESLA.45 driver systems are measured within tight tolerances several times during production. High-quality materials such as anodised metal and hard-wearing plastics make the DT 1990 PRO MKII a long-term investment. In the interest of sustainability, almost every part of the premium headphones can be replaced.
