HEADPHONES
The proverbial quality that has been the hallmark of AKG
headphones is one of the things that made the AKG brand
famous.
AKG makes a wide range of hardwire and wireless head-
phones as well as surround systems. Open-air, semi-
open, and closed-back headphones from AKG all share a
secure fit and perfect comfort. Constant R&D efforts
result in innovative technologies such as the Varimotion
diaphragm or the new XXL speakers. AKG headphones pro-
vide excellent sound quality, ease of use, easy-to-clean ear
pads, a self-adjusting headband, and rugged construction
for long-time use in the studio or at home.
AKG products, particularly headphones, are available
worldwide and are on the equipment rosters of many radio
and TV studios. Did you know that according to a recent
Billboard survey every US recording studio uses at least
one AKG product?
The AKG Varimotion speaker
The heart of any headphone is the
diaphragm. Made of extremely thin foil,
the diaphragm is required by transducer
designers to perform incredible, almost
artistic feats. The rim of the diaphragm
must vibrate elastically while the center
portion should move like a piston. AKG
achieved just that by designing the
Varimotion system.
The “sound zone” in the center is thicker
than the rim and therefore moves like a
piston with no partial oscillations. The
result is an absolutely realistic sound,
with a better sonic perspective and an
airier high end. The rim, or “movement
zone”, is thinner and vibrates more
easily, providing a powerful, punchy
bass range.
