If you’re serious about playing live, you likely know by now just how helpful a good set of in-ear monitors (IEMs) can be. And if you don’t, well, have I got good news for you. Beyerdynamic just unveiled a new line of IEMs, and they’re just the thing to get you started using in-ears (you’ll never look back).
No matter whether you’re a singer, guitarist, drummer, bassist, or keyboardist, beyerdynamic’s new DT line of IEMs has a model tailored specifically to your needs. All four models are powered by beyerdynamic’s German-designed TESLA.11 driver, which, with a total harmonic distortion of 0.02% and maximum SPL of 137db, is, beyerdynamic says, “one of the loudest, lowest-distortion systems available.”
Each DT IEM is also equipped with five different sizes of silicone eartips as well as three pairs of memory foam eartips for maximum comfort and fit—good sound insulation and comfort are VERY important when it comes to IEMs, as anyone who has used crummy ones will tell you.
Let’s take a look at each of the four models and see what features they have to offer.
DT 70 IE
The DT 70 IE was designed with mixing and critical listening in mind. It “delivers precise, linear tuning that follows the Fletcher-Munson curve, ensuring accurate low frequencies and treble reproduction at any volume. Its acoustic tuning makes it perfect for evaluating mixes and live sound, while its natural sound balance also appeals to audiophiles seeking top-tier audio performance.”
In English? This means that the DT 70 IE is perfect for the best, most accurate representation of the live mix, making it ideal for audio engineers and anyone else who needs to hear the full range of frequencies in a live performance.
DT 71 IE
The DT 71 IE was created for the needs of drummers and bassists, with “powerful bass and clear treble” for effective monitoring behind the kit, with scooped mids making bass drum, bass guitar, and cymbals cut through the mix.
DT 72 IE
For singers and guitarists, there’s the beyerdynamic DT 72 IE. This one is tuned to compensate for the “occlusion effect,” reducing bass frequencies slightly and emphasizing natural low mids to prevent your instrument and your voice from sounding too boomy or muffled.
DT 73 IE
Last but not least, the DT 73 IE applies a similar approach to the DT 70—a full tonal range that’s designed with keyboardists and orchestral players in mind. Dynamics and tonal precision are everything for orchestral instruments and performances, and the DT 73 delivers with “natural
bass and mid-range with precise treble overtones.” It even has a “subtle treble boost from 5 kHz upwards (that) enhances overtones, allowing pianists and keyboard players to hear intricate harmonic details clearly”—basically a keyboardist’s dream come true.
DT 1770/1990 PRO MKII Headphones
I’m super excited to check out the new IEMs at NAMM this week, along with beyerdynamic’s new DT 1770/1990 PRO MKII line of headphones. This line comprises an open-back model (DT 1990 PRO MKII) for mixing, editing, and mastering as well as a closed-back model (DT 1770 PRO MKII) for recording and monitoring. Both models are powered by beyerdynamic’s TESLA.45 drivers.
