and K 271 Studio headphones

These professional headsets from AKG have been designed for broad-
cast and recording use. Derived from the high quality, extremely
accurate K 171 Studio and K 271 Studio headphones, the headsets
are available with either a condenser or a dynamic microphone.
In addition to excellent comfort, optimum ambient-noise attenuati-
on, and outstanding audio quality, the HSC and HSD Series profes-
sional headsets use the same proven detachable cable as the Studio
Series headphones. So should a cable become defective under the
enormous stress of day-to-day broadcast work, it can be replaced
quickly and without any tools.
The flexible microphone arm swivels through a 270-degree arc and
mutes the microphone automatically as you move it up – no need to
fumble for a mute button! Also, you can wear the microphone to the
left or right of your mouth depending on your preferences or availa-
ble space.
Commentators, off-camera moderators, camera operators, or sound
engineers – AKG professional headsets are always the perfect tools
for any application in professional audio and satisfy every user’s per-
sonal preferences.

ries all signals to and from the head-
set.
