AUDIX A140 Over-Ear Studio Headphones
AVOID UNSAFE LISTENING
Listening to music through headphones at high volumes is unsafe and can cause damage to your hearing. BEFORE placing headphones on your ears, be sure that the levels of your music source are turned off. Place the headphones into listening position and slowly bring the volume up to a moderate level when in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With proper care and maintenance your Audix headphones are designed to give you many years of excellent performance. Store your headphones in the protective case at room temperature while not in use. Avoid extreme heat or cold temperatures, moisture and extended exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning the product use a dry, soft cloth. Use the supplied Audix accessories with your product and authentic Audix replacement parts if needed.
WEARING AND ADJUSTING THE HEADSET
Your Audix headphones are adjustable to your head size and should be extremely
comfortable after you find the right setting. When new, the headband will have
a bit of extra tension. In time, they will loosen up and adapt perfectly to
your head after usage. For this reason, headphones become extremely personal.
DO NOT try to adjust the headset by stretching the metal band upward or
outward as this could damage the tension needed for a good seal around the
ear.
Note: that there is a left and right ear cup. They are marked on the
inside of the headset with an “L” and “R”. An easy way to remember this: the
left side is always the one with the cable connector.
CONNECTING THE AUDIO CABLE
Your Audix headphones come with a 1.8 m high-quality audio cable. Both connectors are 3.5 mm stereo jacks. The jack with the smaller housing is designed to plug into the left earcup and the other jack with the threaded housing is designed to plug into the audio source.
When plugging in the connector to the ear cup, be sure to push the jack all
the way in for a secure connection.
Note: a threaded 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm adapter is provided for inputs
requiring a 6.35 mm (1/4 in) jack.
