Your HD 820
Connecting the headphones
▷
Select the suitable connection cable for the audio source to which you
want to connect the headphones and change the connection cable as
described below:
• 1/4" (6.35 mm) stereo jack plug, unbalanced (can also be connected
to a 3.5 mm stereo jack socket by using a standard adapter)
• 4.4 mm Pentaconn stereo jack plug, balanced
• XLR-4, balanced
▷
Connect the headphones to your audio source.
For optimum music enjoyment, we recommend using a headphone
amplifier such as the Sennheiser HDV 820 and a balanced connection
cable such as the one equipped with the 4.4 mm Pentaconn jack plug.
Putting on the headphones and using them
▷
Put on your headphones and then pull the ear cups down until they
rest comfortably over the ears. Make sure you wear them the right way
round by observing the “R” (right) and “L” (left) markings on the ear cup
bands.
▷
Take the headphones off and use the slide scale on the headband to
ensure they sit symmetrically.
▷
After use, place the headphones into the storage box. Hang the cable
up unwound for the first few days after use. After that, you can store the
cable wound up loosely.
Changing the connection cable
To detach the connection cable:
▷
Hold the ear cup firmly and pull the connector straight out of the socket
by overcoming a slight resistance.
To attach the connection cable:
▷
Make sure the “R” (right) and “L” (left) markings on the connectors
match the markings on the ear cups.
▷
Align the latch of the connector with the socket and insert the
connector until it snaps into place with an audible click.
