Designed for Studio Monitoring
Sweetwater engineers often use closed-back headphones to scrupulously listen to really fine details, and the Direct Sound DS-74 Closed-back Professional Monitoring Headphones are a fine choice! These circumaural headphones feature excellent sound quality and greater isolation than open-back headphones, so you’ll hear exactly what’s going on in your mix while shutting out distracting noise from your environment. DS-74 'phones are also ideal for tracking since their closed-back design ensures minimal audio bleed from backing tracks leaking into a microphone. With a flat frequency response of 10Hz all the way up to 30KHz, large 50mm drivers for strong output and bass representation, and an impressive max power output of 1600mW, Direct Sound's DS-74 Closed-back Professional Monitoring Headphones are worth a look — and a listen.
Designed for studio monitoring
The primary appeal of closed-back headphones is their sound isolation. They’re more isolated than open-back headphones, so you get less environment noise and minimal audio leakage. This makes DS-74 headphones an excellent choice for when you need to listen critically or track vocals.
Wide frequency range and flat EQ curve
Since they cover 10Hz–30KHz, you can be sure DS-74 headphones will allow you to hear everything that’s going on in your mix. In addition, DS-74 headphones give you an honest representation of your mix courtesy of a flat EQ curve and minimal coloration. This enables you to make informed decisions about how your mixes and masters will transfer to other playback systems. A gold-plated 3.5mm TRS plug further ensures a transparent signal, and these 'phones also come with a 1/4-inch adapter.
Powerful enough without an amp
The DS-74’s 50mm drivers mean that you’ll get quality sound (with particularly powerful bass representation), and tracking musicians will have no problems hearing their backing tracks. An impressive max output power of 1600mW means that these headphones can function adequately by themselves without the need for a headphone amp. If you’re in the market for a pair of closed-back headphones that also strikes a great balance between sound, power, and price, then call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer and ask about the Direct Sound DS-74 Closed-back Professional Monitoring Headphones.
