- Denon D2000 MarkL mod question. Posted by 3 years ago. I used my own damping and mods. Two concentric rings. One around the outer baffle, one on the smaller inside. That and Dynamat on the cups and your set. I tried without damping and it.
- All it requires is stuffing the ear pads with fiberloft to dampen the bass a tiny bit. This mod was originally designed for the Denon AH-D2000 and D5000, but should work on newer Denon models as well.

Resonance Control: Materials Science In the Service Of Sound
Denon D2000 Damping Mods Free
We searched the world looking for materials and solutions that would improve our process. Where they didn’t exist, we had them made to our specification.
Your Tune-Up Kit contains advanced purpose-made industrial materials that are extremely effective at their specific tasks. We now use less material overall than before yet the mod is more effective than ever. The result is very even-handed yet targeted at the areas that need most attention.
Space Age Super-Materials Strategically Deployed
Stock Denon AH-D2000's vs. Lawton Audio LA 2000 (Markl mods, Angle Pads, Waterfall Bubinga cups, AH-D7000 7NOFC cable with Neutrik 1/4' TRS termination). The bass with mods (dampening) was far improved in my opinion. Just as much slam without the excess reverberation. Apr 21, 2012 Denon marketing materials say the driver has a 'free edge,' sorry, not sure what this means-there is a flexible clear surround attaching the outside edge of the diaphragm to the driver housing Housings - The D2000 housing is plastic, and has some damping material adhered to the rear of the cup, and a ring of fibrous acoustic wadding.
We apply our damping materials throughout the assembly in critical areas; carefully selected spots hidden away inside the headphone, nicely out of sight. These materials are all peel and stick, no mess, and easy for anyone to apply.
We found a versatile advanced material that we now use exclusively on all the Fostex and Denon factory cups as well as inside our own Custom Wood Chambers. One of the many “space-age” super-materials to come out of the NASA program, it works perfectly in the metal cups of the TH-600, the wood cups of your TH-900, and even the plastic chambers of the Denon D2000.
To treat the crucial driver housing we discovered another new material that is more effective and easier to work with. It also has no metal backing, so there is no risk of reflections. Feather weight and stable with just the right amount of “give”.
Custom Made Acoustic Foam Banishes Reflections & Listening Fatigue
Denon D2000 Damping Mods
Finally, we commissioned our favorite manufacturer of acoustic foams to make us a special open-cell material to replace the bulky stock polyester batting cube that Fostex uses inside its cups. Our exclusive acoustic foam is manufactured to work subtly and evenly over the entire frequency spectrum, providing the right degree of absorption and reflection control. The result is less fatiguing highs that are present, clean and clear. Treated cups also have a more open and bigger sound.
