The evolution of a studio legend

The DT 1990 PRO MKII open-back studio headphones are the second generation of the critically acclaimed DT 1990 PRO. The new MKII version boasts 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 features the latest generation of TESLA driver technology TESLA.45 Redesigned from the ground up, the 45mm driver system boasts excellent resolution, extremely low distortion and outstanding impulse behavior. The TESLA.45 provides signal fidelity even at high volumes.

Our engineers have managed to combine studio sound and flexibility thanks to weight-optimised 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 user interfaces.

When it comes to sound, the reference model boasts precise bass response right down to the lowest octaves. The slightly reduced trebles compared to the original version offer a high amount of information and help to avoid wrong decisions when mixing. In addition thanks to the wide sound stage, instruments and voices can be precisely pinpointed.

The TESLA.45 sound transducers are manufactured at our company headquarters in Germany. That said, each DT 1990 PRO MKII contains two TESLA.45 sound transducers, which are measured several times during the various production steps.

Professional level flexibility

Designed to maxamise 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. A straight cable (3m) and a coiled cable (5m) are included. Both have a lockable 3-pin mini XLR plug. Everything is safely stored in a high-quality hard case to protect your investment.

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 to the shape of the head. In addition, the now fontanelle recess avoids pain-sensitive areas on the head. Both the headband and ear pad can also be replaced if necessary.

Industry leading workmanship

Thanks to decades of Germany manufacturing expertise, the DT 1990 PRO MKII sets the benchmark in workmanship and durability. Thanks to multiple measurements of the driver system across various production steps, as well as the selection of high-quality materials, the DT 1990 PRO MKII is a reliable professional tool.

In the interest of sustainability, almost every part of the headphone can be replaced.
