AKG
STUDIO HEADPHONES
AKG introduced the K 140 in 1974 and the K 240 Monitor in 1975, which became the most widely used headphones in
recording studios and broadcast facilities worldwide. Generations of musicians and audio engineers use these AKG products
to create great mixes,hit songs and albums cherished by millions around the world.
The new AKG Professional Studio headphones carry on the tradition of these audio tools and are a sound investment that
will pay handsome returns with years of flawless sonic performance for professional recording engineers and demanding
users of high quality home or portable audio equipment.
New XXL Transducers with Varimotion Diaphragm
The new XXL transducers use AKG’s patented
Varimotion diaphragm to ensure extremely accu-
rate response at any listening level. This technology
creates a diaphragm that is thinner, more elastic
toward the outside edges for more powerful bass
response and thicker, less resonant in the center for
pure,accurate mids and clear,detailed highs. The large size of the
transducers makes the overall sound more lifelike and three-dimensional
to capture the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.
Gimbal-type Suspension
A gimbal-type suspension makes sure the earcups of both supra aural
and circumaural models will conform to the user’s ears without press-
ing on them. Thanks to this dynamic adjustment mechanism,you can
wear the headphones for hours without feeling pinched by them.
Detachable Cable
The headphones utilize a detachable input cable for easy replacement if
ever necessary. The cable and headphones use mini XLR connectors for
perfect contact and secure connection.The cable is made of 99.99%
oxygen-free copper and has gold-plated plugs on both ends including
the screw-on 1/8˝ to 1/4˝ jack adapter for maximum signal transfer.
Self-Adjusting Headbands
To ensure your listening comfort, the Professional Studio headphones
utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible steel structure to
deliver optimum fit for your headphones without any fiddling. The
structure is flexible, yet strong enough to allow bending for single ear
use and is durable enough to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-
type suspension ensures the earcups of all Professional Studio models
will conform to the shape and size of your ears without pressing on
them for hours of fatigue-free, comfortable listening.
Rugged construction,a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound
allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear
them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio
headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are
durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during
transport or on stage.
Perfect for Many Applications
You need good quality audio for all your listening applications–
including computer,Minidisc,portable CD or DAT player – as well as
in the studio.Owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic
range, the Professional Series headphones are efficient enough to be
used with these lower level output sources and still deliver the high
definition sound you need when working in the studio or on stage.

K 141 Monitor
A proven “workhorse”throughout the
recording industry, the K 141M serves as
the reference standard for supra-aural
(on-the-ear) monitor headphone designs.A
small coupling volume in the ear cup,
combined with an “integrated semi-open”
venting system behind the transducer, gives
the K 141 M its trademark sound: punchy,
accurate and crisply defined. The K 141 M
will deliver high sound pressure levels
without distortion and it is solidly built to
withstand around-the-clock session use.
K 240 Monitor
A classic design which has become a standard
in monitoring. The “integrated semi-open
air”design incorporates a highly accurate
dynamic transducer, and an acoustically
tuned venting structure behind the element
that produces a naturally open sound quality.
The circumaural (around-the-ear) pads are
designed for hours of wearing comfort, while
the steel-cable, self-adjusting headband
construction and single-sided pro quality
audio interconnect ensure extended reliability
in demanding studio applications.
For applications that require the performance and 600-ohm impedance
of the original models,the famous K 141 and K 240 Monitors are still
available with their fixed cables.
