APPLICATIONS

The lightweight, closed headsets DT 280 and DT 290 suit ideally for
broadcasting applications.
The headphone is featuring an efficient neodymium magnet
system, a very high reproduction precision and a balanced sound.
Another special feature is the wide transmission range of
10 - 30,000 Hz. The headsets come with 80 Ω or 250 Ω systems.
The soft circumaural earcups and the fully adjustable padded
headband are extremely comfortable. The dynamic microphone can
be optimally positioned with the flexible gooseneck. The hyper­cardioid polar pattern guarantees an extremely high-gain-before
feedback and noise cancellation. The microphone holder is rotatable
so that the microphone can be worn on the left or right side.
The cables to the ear cups and the microphone run safely in the
headband. The connecting cable is single-sided, plug-in type with
a golden combi 1/4"/mini jack plug. All parts such as ear pads,
headband and gooseneck microphone are easy to replace.
