2 versions of the equalization circuit, the first having 6 db less insertion loss than the other. However, some may not be able to find a .68 microfarad capacitor. The second version uses a more common .22 microfarad capacitor. Both of these circuits operate to reduce the frequencies above 2 kHz with a 6db/oct slope until 15 kHz, where they turn flat once again. The source impedance will have a significant effect on the properties of the passive networks and should be less than 50 ohms. These circuits are only for the beyerdynamic DT990 Pro headphones.

I have bought my DT 990 (600 Ohm version) properly in 1986 or so, after reading a review in the German stereoplay magazine stating, that these were the best dynamic headphones. Well, I can’t remember what they sounded back than, but I do remember than someone noted that these headphones were pretty strong in the bass. Actually, I do remember them sounding pretty heavy in the bass.
After using them for some time, they ended up somewhere in a moving box and did not get pulled out until the mid 90’s, when I replaced the deteriorated ear pads with some artificial leather ear pads made by Beyerdynamic. At that time the DT 990 still sounded pretty heavy in the bass, so heavy that I thought that I needed an equalizer for these headphones, to turn down the bass and up the treble. That was also the time I asked on AudioAsylum and HeadWize.com for some help.
I was advised to buy the new gray velvet ear pads from Beyerdynamic, which I did. Well, I could not believe my ears after I changed the ear pads. The whole sound changed completely. Suddenly the bass was "almost" on the lean side, the mids where very airy and the highs very extended. So far so good. Except I started to realize, that the highs were too aggressive and too much and that this airiness was due to the access treble. Another post on AudioAsylum and HeadWize got me into the right direction. I was directed to LXH2 article on HeadWize.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
