Beyerdynamic DT 770 M - Headphones for monitoring with high attenuation (closed) Manual
![]()
DESIGN FEATURES
The DT 770 M is a closed dynamic headphone and is designed for critical music and sound monitoring in an open environment. The headphone features a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz and is equalised to the diffuse sound field. The weight of the diaphragm and moving coil of this headphone is approx. 20% compared to other current models. As a result, the DT 770 M offers similar pulse characteristics as electrostatic headphones.
APPLICATION
- The DT 770 M has been designed for drummers and monitoring purposes (FOH), and is suitable for use on stage and in the studio.
- The transducers are fitted to adjustable yokes which should be positioned to fully enclose the ear. This provides the optimum ear/speaker position for accurate sound monitoring.
- The headphone volume can be optimal adjusted using the volume control on the single-sided cable.
- The cable has a length of 3 meters and is terminated with a high-quality gold plated mini jack (3.5 mm) - a 1/4" (6.35 mm) stereo jack adapter is also supplied.
