Protect your Hearing!

10. March 2010

beyerdynamic professional series headphones and headsets are now available with an integrated level limiter. This new option, available throughout the range guarantees that an operator’s hearing is protected when the headphone is used over a prolonged period. Designed to meet health and safety criteria, German audio specialist beyerdynamic have created a passive circuitry which achieves an audio response similar to that of a complex, expensive VCA limiter. beyerdynamic’s ingenious two-phase limiting concept incorporates firstly a smooth decrease of the audio signal by 6 dB then secondly, a hard, protective brickwall limit of the audio signal. This two step process ensures that overall sound quality is maintained throughout any peak in signal. The limiter threshold can be defined freely by the customer when ordering.

Besides the professional headphones of the DT 250 and DT 770 PRO series, the DT 290 and DT 790 series headsets are now also available with an integrated limiter.
