AKG's professional headsets have become a standard for many recording and broadcasting applications.
Especially sports commentators, news presenters and sound engineers prefer our headsets thanks to their
excellent comfort, useful features, optimum ambient-noise attenuation and outstanding sound quality.
Derived from the proven K 171 MkII Studio and K 271 MkII Studio headphones, the headsets are available with
either a condenser or a dynamic microphone. In addition to outstanding audio quality, the HSC and HSD
Professional Headsets offer the same proven detachable cable as the Studio Series headphones. If a cable
should become defective under the enormous stress of day-to-day broadcast work, it can be replaced quickly
and without any tools.
The flexible microphone arm swivels through a 270-degree arc and mutes the microphone automatically as you
move it up – no need to fumble for a mute button! Also, you can wear the microphone to the left or right of your
mouth depending on your preferences or available space.
Commentators, off-camera moderators, camera operators, or sound engineers – AKG’s professional headsets
are always the perfect tools for any application in professional audio and satisfy every user’s personal
preferences.
Moreover, AKG now offers new cable versions allow a wide range of applications in the studio, for camera use,
news presenters and commentators, for broadcasting, podcasting, computer use, conferencing and intercom.
The cable sets now show specific connector configurations for different applications.
Please note that all headsets are supplied without connecting cable. Please order the appropriate connecting
cable separately.
