The headphone is fully adjustable and should be positioned for
the best fit over the ears. This will give maximum long-term
comfort and will minimise sound leakage or spill.
Maintenance
As with any equipment which will be used in close proximity to
sensitive parts of the body, it is essential that the ear pads, the
headband and the microphone pop-shield are kept clean. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning the ear-pads and headband using only
gentle cleansing agents (such as washing-up liquid). Take care
not to allow any water drops into the transducer elements and
do not use any solvent cleaners.
The fully modular design of the DT 150 allows for full, in-field ser-
viceability without the need for specialists tools. Every item of the
assembly is available as a spare part and no special training is
necessary for servicing. The Order Numbers of all of the spare
parts are listed under "Spares", "Supplied Accessories" and
"Optional Accessories". Please take care to identify the parts
required by the Order Number as there are many options, especi-
ally for the transducer parts and the cable assemblies.
Safety
When plugging in headphones or headsets to the drive amplifier,
we recommend that this is done before it is fitted over the ears
for use. This will give the technician the chance to check that the
volume levels are not too high. Please remember that the user
could well be a highly-paid presenter and the consequences of
damaging his/her ears may well prove to be music to the ears of
the lawyers!
The very low levels of distortion can make listening levels higher
than is perceived and we have to warn you that listening to
programme or talkback at high levels for long periods can
permanently damage your hearing.
