In 2007, AKG celebrated its 60^th anniversary.  Throughout the decades, AKG has gained world recognition for its excellent microphones, and of course, headsets.  The company was founded in 1947 by Dr. Rudolf Goinke and Ernst Pless in Austria.  Quite quickly, AKG became a force to be reckoned with throughout the world of audio, developing many “firsts” and thus, setting the bar higher.

Along with their reputation for quality and innovation, AKG has rapidly expanded their distribution across the world, becoming one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high quality microphones, headphones and wireless equipment. With that in mind, it shouldn’t be a surprise that AKG products are used in concert halls, opera halls, recording studios, TV and film studios, and stages across the world.

AKG manufactures professional headsets for purposes such as recording and broadcasting, such as the HSC 171/HSC 271 models, which come with a condenser microphone, closed-back headphones, auto-mute function, and switchable bass cut filter in addition to other features.  The AKG K 109 SB model is a very rugged headset that provides good intelligibility with a close-talking microphone and high ambient noise attenuation, the company says.  This particular headset is built for noisy atmospheres, construction sites, theatres, etc.

Although AKG has worldwide distribution, individual buyers across the world currently cannot purchase their products through their website. However, AKG does link the individual consumer to information on contacting authorized dealers in the consumer’s local area. In the United States alone, there are about 100 authorized dealers located in or near many of the country’s metropolitan areas.
