USER MANUAL — ME05 EARPHONES

SOUND TOOLS FOR CREATIVE MINDSAt Master & Dynamic we are obsessed with the interaction between
sound and creativity. Our passion is building beautifully designed,
technically sophisticated sound tools for creative minds.
Our earphones are designed to deliver our signature sound with arefined appearance and thoughtful details, all in a compact format.

SOPHISTICATED SOUND

Our earphones are built from solid brass and utilize heavy-duty cables.
The balanced body and angled eartip allow for a comfortable ergonomicfit. We use custom 8mm titanium coated drivers and oxygen-freecopper cables to deliver rich, warm sound. Our tuning is designed toaccommodate a diversity of tastes and musical genres.

BRASS
The ME05 Earphones are precision-machined from solid brass.
Often employed for its natural acoustic qualities, brass transfers
sound clearly and accurately. This allows the ME05 to deliver
Master & Dynamic's signature sound quality in a small package,
without distortion.
The unique contours of the ME05 are hand finished and incrediblydurable. Unlike brass plating, solid brass will continue to look better
over time, making for an earphone that offers dynamic decibels ina body capable of standing up to the rigors of daily use.

MAINTENANCE
It is important to periodically clean the ear tips and bodies ofMaster & Dynamic earphones, as well as the acoustic filter foundat the end of each earphone body. Doing so will help ensure
consistent audio performance. Even small amounts of debris,
dirt and wax can dramatically reduce or eliminate sound output.
To clean the acoustic filter, follow these steps:
1 Remove the tips from theearphone bodies;
2 Remove acoustic filter by
turning counter clockwise;
3 Fully submerge acoustic
filter in hydrogen peroxide
for a few minutes to allow
the debris, dirt or wax toloosen;

4 Apply hydrogen peroxide to aclean cotton swab or soft clothto gently scrub the acoustic
mesh. Let dry completely;
5 To clean the ear tips, wipe using
mild soap or isopropyl alcohol.

CARE• When disconnecting theearphones from the audio
source, avoid pulling on thecable. Hold the plug at theend of the cable and pull todisconnect.
• Store in a clean, dryenvironment, preferably ina box or canvas case.

• To avoid damage, do notstore other items in thecase along with yourearphones.
• Do not drop, sit on, or
allow the earphones tobe exposed to water,
moisture, or temperature
extremes.

HEARING HEALTH AND FITNESS

Our ability to hear is amazing. Treat your ears like the precious tools theyare, and they will continue to provide you with exceptional data, as well
as a lifetime of incredible sonic experiences.
In general, do not listen “too loud or for too long,” and be attentive to
your own ears. Ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity to high frequencies andtreble may be a signal from your ears that you are pushing them to theirlimits and causing damage.
As a general practice, find what seems to be your preferred listening
level and then adjust the volume down another 10% or more.
Surprisingly, your ears will attune to a slightly lower volume over time,
and what seems quiet at first can be perfect for longer listening periods.
If your co-workers (3 – 10 feet away) are always singing along orcommenting on your music choices, chances are you may be listening
too loud. See an audiologist to have your hearing tested.
If you are interested in tuning your ear to have a more refined sonicpalate, there are some apps and training programs you can find online.

PREVENTION OF NIHL (NOISE INDUCED HEARING LOSS)NIHL is a preventable condition caused by both one-time and extended
exposure to excessive decibel (dB) levels. This harm to sensitive inner
ear structures is irreversible and people of all ages can be affected.
Damage can happen in a single event or gradually over time. One-time
exposure to sounds louder than 110 decibels and extended exposure
to sounds over 85 decibels can cause harm. Indicators of NIHL include
hearing loss and tinnitus, a condition of sensing constant ringing,buzzing or roaring. The NIDCD (National Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders) offers this simple rule of thumb: avoid soundexposure that is “too loud, too close or too long.” Here are some generalreferences to sound levels that occur in everyday life: refrigerator
humming (45 dB); normal conversation (60 dB); city traffic (85 dB);
motorcycles (95 dB); an MP3 player at full volume (105 dB); sirens (120dB); firecrackers (150 dB).
