The beyerdynamic DT 73 IE delivers professional wired in-ear monitoring with a frequency response optimised for the accurate reproduction of orchestral instruments and pianos. It features the dynamic TESLA.11 driver system, known for its exceptionally low distortion. Thanks to its compact design, the DT 73 IE offers excellent sound isolation, as well as being discreet, lightweight, and comfortable to wear due to its form-fitting design. This modern in-ear system is effective in a wide range of professional applications and can be used not only on stage for flawless performances, but also in the studio for successful productions.
The beyerdynamic DT 73 IE uses dynamic drivers that reproduce frequencies from 5Hz to 40kHz, more than meeting the demands of audiophile listeners. The rated input impedance is 16 ohms. The low weight of these in-ear headphones makes them particularly comfortable to wear. The package includes additional accessories, such as five pairs of silicone ear moulds in different sizes, plus three pairs of Comply Tx-500 memory foam tips, to provide a customised fit for every ear. A pair of cerumen protection filters protects the beyerdynamic DT 73 IE effectively against moisture, while the carrying case ensures safe storage on the go. The 1.4m cable is plenty long enough to be connected to any wireless receiver (not included here), which could then be conveniently carried on the musician's belt.
The beyerdynamic DT 73 IE is aimed at professional musicians who want a highly accurate reproduction of their monitor and headphone mixes – whether performing live or in the studio. They make getting to and setting up live gigs much easier, as there's no need for monitor speakers or power amps. Of course, tear-down times are also significantly shorter too. In addition, stage levels can be kept in check, allowing individual signals to be captured more precisely with minimal bleed. The result is a cleaner, clearer monitor mix for the musicians. The outstanding quality of these in-ear headphones is, finally, due in no small part to their handcrafted production in Germany.
beyerdynamic was founded in 1924 by its namesake Eugen Beyer in Berlin and initially manufactured loudspeakers for film palaces before making a huge impact on the sound engineering industry in 1937 with the development of the first pair of dynamic headphones, the DT 48, followed in 1939 by the first dynamic microphone, the M 19. After World War II, beyerdynamic moved its headquarters to the German town of Heilbronn, and today has locations in the US town of Farmingdale, New York State, as well as in Shenzhen, China. The company’s most popular products, a large proportion of which are still manufactured in Germany, have always included headphones and microphones for both live and studio use, and a wide selection of audio equipment for gamers and streamers is also on offer, particularly headsets for broadcast and gaming applications.
Using in-ears on stage gives musicians more control over their mix, resulting in a more transparent sound for the audience – there's no need to overcome already-high on-stage levels. In-ear monitoring systems also provide the perfect solution in the battle against annoying feedback from loud floor monitors. When paired with an optional wireless system, the beyerdynamic DT 73 IE allows musicians to adjust their own volume directly on the receiver. In the studio, its compact design and detailed monitoring performance ensure extremely low bleed in the headphone mix, enabling isolated recordings.
