Frequency response notes
The measured stock response has extended, mildly elevated bass, a dip near 200 Hz and elevated treble. Seal breaks reduce bass. Higher source output impedance can change the tonal balance.7Measurementdiyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/measurements/brands-a-i/dt-770-pro-xRead 23 October 2026July 29, 2025 exact standard model review. Flatbed rig with good seal, microphone and low-frequency corrections, unsmoothed main response. Stock acoustic response only. Later filter and damping modifications are excluded.
