A Second Generation That Upholds a Studio Reference
The MKII version of the acclaimed high-end model, the DT 1990 PRO refines the original formula with a new TESLA.45 driver and a more mature tuning. The highs are slightly softened compared to the first generation to limit fatigue and reduce balance errors, while maintaining the transient speed and solid bass foundation that made it renowned.
Designed for Demanding Engineers, Creators, and Studios
Open-back and circumaural, the DT 1990 PRO MKII targets professionals in mixing, mastering, and editing seeking an analytical yet musical listening experience. Its wide soundstage facilitates source localization and spatial processing verification, while the 30 Ohm impedance ensures a comfortable level with most audio interfaces.
What's New and What Makes the Difference
Next-Generation TESLA.45 Drivers
Completely redesigned, the 45 mm driver offers better efficiency, minimal distortion, and impeccable performance at high volumes. The result is enhanced precision down to deep bass, with clear micro-dynamics and sharp transients.
Optimized Tonal Balance for Analysis
The treble tuning, more restrained than on the previous DT 1990 PRO, promotes analytical finesse without overemphasizing high frequencies. This builds confidence on cymbals, sibilance, and harmonics, enabling more assured mixing decisions.
Versatility, Comfort, and Workflow
The two detachable cables (3 m flat and extended 5 m coiled, each with 3-pin XLR connector) adapt to studio setups. The two pairs of velour ear pads allow subtle adjustment of the sound reproduction depending on "production" or "mixing and mastering" use. The padded synthetic leather headband ensures support and comfort during long sessions.
