Beyer Professional Headphones and Headsets from Hills SVL

DT790 Series With Integrated Limiter

Beyerdynamic professional series headphones and headsets will soon be able to be ordered with a high quality integrated 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, Beyerdynamic have created passive circuitry which achieves an inexpensive comparable sound impression to that of a complex VCA limiter. Beyerdynamic's clever 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 sound quality is maintained throughout any peak in signal.

Headsets from the revised DT 290 series and headphones from the DT 770 PRO and DT 250 series can be equipped with an integrated limiter from January 2010 onwards. All models from the DT 790 series will be available with limiter from November 2009.
