Although high-quality components are a prerequisite for any high-quality product,
including headphones, it takes more than that to create an excellent product.
In the case of AKG® products, the difference is more than 60 years of experience
and know-how, painstaking attention to the smallest detail, and our ongoing mission
to create better products that lead to cutting-edge headphone technologies.
We do not follow short-lived trends, but strive to develop true audio innovations.
Countless awards and more than 1,400 international patent applications attest
to this successful strategy. The important thing, however, is to ensure our customers
will be satisfied with our products and services for many years to come.
Curious? Try our headphones and compare them to other models. We‘re sure
you‘ll find that AKG headphones don‘t just reproduce audio – they help you enjoy
what you hear. That’s the AKG difference.
AKG Acoustics
When it comes to headphones, you go for the very best. So do we.
PHONES FOR EVERY HEAD.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE DJ HEADPHONES
The mission was obvious: to find the ultimate tool for professional DJs – high-performance
closed-back headphones with the best possible sound, and maximum SPL that should
be exceptionally rugged and easy to bend or fold into any listening position and provide a
switchable bass boost.
The K 181 DJ headphones have been designed in cooperation with leading international DJs.
Their distinguishing features include 3D-axis professional folding mechanism,
high-sound pressure level, closed-back headphones, stereo/mono selector, bass-boost
switch, frequency range from 5Hz to 30kHz, detachable cable and rubberized finish.
Pump up the volume!
The goal was to create the ultimate tool for professional DJs. So we teamed up with DJs to design the AKG K 181 DJ.

> PATENTED AKG VARIMOTION SPEAKER The diaphragm is the most important
part of the speaker capsule. Acoustical engineers require this extremely thin piece
of foil to perform the most spectacular feats. An ideal diaphragm should combine
high compliance around the perimeter with a pistonlike motion in the center.
The patented AKG Varimotion diaphragm does exactly that. It is thicker in the center
than around its perimeter, so it moves like a piston and is immune to partial oscil-
lations. The result is absolute accuracy, better imaging and clarity at high frequen-
cies. Because it‘s thinner around the rim, the so-called movement zone, the
diaphragm will vibrate more easily to provide a very powerful bass range. _1
> HIGH-PRECISION TWO-LAYER DIAPHRAGM The diaphragm is made of two
different plastic foils for optimum vibration performance.
> HIGH-PERFORMANCE CABLE WITH 1/4“ JACK PLUG The single, 99.99%
oxygen-free cable provides consistently excellent audio and is terminated in a
1/4“ jack plug for connection to any 1/4“ headphone output.
> SELF-ADJUSTING HEADBAND The headband optimally adjusts to your head to
ensure a perfect fit. _2

sound effects and music, making it easier to catch all the subtle nuances of your
favorite actor’s voice.

differences in sensitivity between your left and right ears. The balance control lets
you adjust left and right volumes for an optimally balanced sound.

to tune automatically to the frequency selected on the transmitter.

> HOW ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION WORKS. AKG‘s noise cancelling headphones
incorporate active noise-cancelling circuitry that reduces background noise by
up to 70 percent. Miniature microphones built into the headphones measure
background noise levels. An onboard electronic circuit shifts the phase of the
detected signal by 180 degrees, generating a mirror-image symmetrical signal.
This signal is then reproduced along with the music, thereby eliminating all outside
noise (see diagram). Or if you just want to take a quiet nap on an airplane, put on the
headphones and turn on noise cancellation without playing music at all. It works!

STEREO 01/2008
In January 2008, Stereo magazine tested the AKG
K 701, awarding it an “Excellent” for its sound
quality and price/performance ratio. The editorial
staff commented: “AKG has channeled the best of
50 years of headphone experience into this top-
class headset, and the designer put heart and soul
into it, too ... It spreads the sound out beautifully,
renders sonorous vocals, cloaks them in aura and
charisma, sounds pleasing and agile.”

“As one has come to expect from AKG, the sound
leaves nothing to be desired”, is what MacLife
editors have to say about the wireless AKG K 930
headphones. They conclude: “AKG’s K 930 offers a
good price/performance ratio. Both its sound
quality and its range and battery life are good. The
system also scores highly on looks.”
