The Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO MKII is a professional-grade open-back studio headphone featuring newly developed 45 mm TESLA.45 drivers, 30-ohm impedance, interchangeable velour ear pads, and two detachable cables, designed for critical mixing, mastering, and audio editing applications.
At the core of the DT 1990 PRO MKII is the TESLA.45 driver system. This next-generation 45 mm dynamic transducer has been entirely reengineered to deliver high-resolution sound with minimal distortion and precise transient response. By using lightweight, optimised materials in the diaphragm and magnetic structure, the TESLA.45 driver achieves a balance between detailed reproduction and dynamic flexibility, making it suitable for professional-grade monitoring tasks across a wide frequency range.
The DT 1990 PRO MKII provides a well-balanced and transparent sound profile, essential for accurate decision-making in mixing and mastering environments. It delivers controlled, extended low-frequency response and slightly moderated high frequencies compared to the original model. This tuning helps audio professionals maintain clarity in complex high-end ranges, reducing listening fatigue and enabling precise evaluation of modern mixes with dense upper frequency content.
With an impedance of 30 ohms, the headphones are compatible with a broad range of studio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, and even portable devices. This low impedance design ensures optimal signal levels and dynamic headroom across diverse playback systems without compromising the sonic integrity.
Designed for long sessions, the DT 1990 PRO MKII incorporates a memory foam headband with a central fontanelle recess to relieve pressure on sensitive cranial areas. The headband’s spring steel structure ensures secure but comfortable contact pressure. Breathable velour ear pads reduce heat build-up, and all wearable components, including the headband and pads, can be replaced for extended service life.
The headphones include two distinct ear pad sets: "Producing Velours" for enhanced bass reproduction and a richer tonal character, and "Mixing & Mastering Velours" for a more linear and analytical sound presentation. These allow users to tailor the acoustic profile to specific production needs without altering core performance.
Supplied with both a 3-metre straight cable and a 5-metre coiled cable—each using a lockable 3-pin mini XLR connector—the DT 1990 PRO MKII offers reliable connectivity in any studio layout. A robust hard-shell case protects the unit and accessories during storage and transport, ensuring the headphones remain in pristine condition.
