POSITIONING THE HEADPHONES
The headphones should be positioned on your
head such that the headband is vertical. When
you have the correct adjustment and orientation,
you will have a good seal of the ear-cup pad
around your ear which is essential for correct bass
response. You can check whether you have a
good seal by carefully pushing on the ear-cup.
This should result in a crackling sound as the
trapped air in the ear-cup moves the electrostatic
transducer, causing it to work like a microphone
CONNECTING THE HEADPHONE CABLE
As soon as you have properly adjusted the headband, it
will be time to connect the headphone cable to the
headphones.
The headphone cable connects to the headphone via
high precision, self-latching connectors. The cable is
colour coded, and a small red band at the end of the
strain-relief indicates the right-hand channel. Locate
the ear-cup with the letter R indicated above it, and
insert the cable with the red band until it latches.
When the right-hand cable has been attached,
connect the other cable to the left-hand ear-cup in the
same way.
