Need help?Do you have a question about the Audix A140 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a user guide for Audix headphones, covering models A140, A145, A150, and A152. It provides essential information for safe listening, proper care, adjustment, and cable connection, along with details on supplied and optional accessories, and warranty information.
Audix headphones are designed to deliver high-quality audio for various listening needs. They are intended for personal audio playback, allowing users to enjoy music, podcasts, and other audio content with clarity and detail. The headphones are built with a focus on comfort and durability, aiming to provide a long-lasting listening experience. The design incorporates features that allow for a secure and comfortable fit, adapting to individual users over time.
Safe Listening Practices: The user guide emphasizes the importance of safe listening to prevent hearing damage. It advises users to avoid listening to music at high volumes. Before placing the headphones on their ears, users should ensure that the volume levels of their music source are turned off. Once the headphones are in position, the volume should be slowly increased to a moderate level. This gradual adjustment helps prevent sudden loud sounds that could be harmful to hearing.
Adjustable Fit and Comfort: Audix headphones are designed to be adjustable to various head sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for most users. The headband can be adjusted to find the optimal setting for individual comfort. When new, the headband may exhibit a slight extra tension, which is normal. Over time, with regular use, the headband will naturally loosen and adapt to the user's head shape, making the headphones feel more personalized and comfortable. This adaptation process contributes to the headphones becoming highly personal to the user.
Left and Right Ear Cup Identification: To ensure correct wearing, the headphones feature clearly marked left ("L") and right ("R") ear cups. These markings are located on the inside of the headset. A simple way to remember the correct orientation is that the left side is always the one with the cable connector. This clear identification helps users quickly and correctly position the headphones for an optimal stereo sound experience.
Connecting the Audio Cable: The headphones come with a high-quality 1.8-meter audio cable. Both connectors on the cable are 3.5 mm stereo jacks. The jack with the smaller housing is specifically designed to plug into the left earcup of the headphones. The other jack, which features a threaded housing, is designed to connect to the audio source. When plugging the connector into the ear cup, it is crucial to push the jack all the way in to ensure a secure and stable connection, preventing accidental disconnections or loss of audio quality.
Adapter for Different Audio Sources: A threaded 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm adapter is provided with the headphones. This adapter allows users to connect their headphones to audio inputs that require a larger 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) jack. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wider range of audio equipment, such as professional audio interfaces, amplifiers, and mixing consoles, in addition to standard consumer devices.
Detachable Cables: The headphones feature detachable cables, which offers several advantages. Detachable cables are easier to replace if damaged, extending the lifespan of the headphones. They also allow for customization with different cable lengths or types, such as the optional audiophile-grade cables. The supplied cables are high-density, multi-conductor designs, utilizing braided oxygen-free copper (OFC) for optimal signal transmission and durability. Specific models (A150 and A152) also include an additional longer cable for increased flexibility.
Proper Storage: To ensure the longevity and excellent performance of Audix headphones, proper storage is recommended. When not in use, the headphones should be stored in their supplied protective carrying case. This case helps shield the headphones from dust, dirt, and physical damage. It is also advised to store the headphones at room temperature.
Environmental Protection: Users should avoid exposing the headphones to extreme environmental conditions. This includes protecting them from extreme heat or cold temperatures, which can potentially damage internal components or materials. Additionally, it is important to keep the headphones away from moisture, as water ingress can lead to electrical malfunctions or corrosion. Extended exposure to direct sunlight should also be avoided, as UV radiation can degrade materials over time.
Cleaning Instructions: For cleaning the product, a dry, soft cloth should be used. This gentle method helps remove dust and fingerprints without scratching the surfaces or introducing moisture. Harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials should be avoided, as they can damage the finish or components of the headphones.
Use of Authentic Accessories and Parts: The user guide strongly recommends using only supplied Audix accessories with the headphones. If replacement parts are needed, such as ear pads or cables, it is crucial to use authentic Audix replacement parts. Using non-authentic or incompatible accessories and parts could potentially compromise the performance, durability, or safety of the headphones, and may also void the warranty.
Headband Adjustment Caution: While the headband is adjustable, users are explicitly warned against trying to adjust the headset by stretching the metal band upward or outward. Such actions could damage the inherent tension required for a good seal around the ear cups. Maintaining this tension is vital for optimal sound isolation and audio quality. Forcing the headband beyond its intended range of motion can lead to permanent damage and reduced comfort.
