AKG – The Story of a Legendary Brand
For more than five decades, AKG has been a leading manufacturer of microphones and headphones to the high-
est standards of quality and reliability. In 1947, AKG was established in Vienna, Austria, the musical home of the
greatest composers of all time, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Mahler, Schönberg, and, of course, the
Strauss family.
Starting out as a two-man company, AKG grew into a leading audio manufacturer with more than 1,500 interna-
tional patents. The related experience and engineering know-how are the foundation of the unique sound of AKG
products as well as the reputation and popularity of the legendary AKG brand. Today, AKG products are available
throughout the world and have become a standard in many radio and TV studios. Did you know that according to the
1990 Billboard Survey every US recording studio uses at least one AKG product?
A strategy of engineering innovation, cost efficient production, and identifying and responding to new trends early on is the mainstay of the company's
success. As a result, growth rates for the relatively new lines of sound system, wireless, telecom, and OEM products have been rising year after year. AKG's
core lines of headphones, studio, and performance microphones have been a sound foundation of continued success that is constantly enlarged and
strengthened with innovative, new products. AKG has unique engineering resources to meet the challenges of
the future.
Should you find no product for your specific application in this Catalog, please post to the AKG Forum at
www.akg.com. We also appreciate any suggestions for improvements, new products, or other ideas you may
post to the Forum.
“When it comes to microphones, headphones, conference systems, sound system and PA products, choose
AKG. The engineering competence and worldwide reputation of the AKG brand give you the confidence of
using equipment meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability.”
