PRODUCT MANUAL

POLSEN®

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.

Polsen's HPS-A40 headphones are designed for studio tracking and mixing, as well as DJ and personal monitoring applications. The 40 mm Neodymium drivers deliver a wide frequency response with high sensitivity for accurate and detailed audio.

The HPS-A40 headphones feature a unique three-step bass adjustment switch on each driver that allows you to adjust the low end to your taste. Each step adds 3 dB at 200 Hz, the heart of bass frequencies. With less bass, vocals and speech are clearer and more understandable. Increasing the bass adds texture and depth to music and soundtracks.

The headphone's over-the-ear design offers sound isolation in noisy environments. Each earphone swivels up to 90 degrees for convenient one-ear monitoring. The single-sided detachable cable terminates with a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini plug and comes with a 1/4-inch adapter for compatibility with portable devices and computers, as well as home stereos, headphone amps, and mixing boards. Thick replaceable ear cushions and a padded headband provide comfort throughout long monitoring sessions.

For the least amount of bass, use this setting for clearer and more intelligible vocals and speech. Music tracks sound bright and present
