Hi-fi TV/Home Theater Multimedia Stage Recording and Mixing Studio/ Broadcast Installed Sound Industry billion people were listening to AKG. Maybe you were one of them. Remember the opening ceremony of the soccer world cup in Seoul? The sound system there used the latest wireless technology from AKG. One reason was that AKG is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of headphones and microphones plus AKG audio equipment has been in use in countless concert halls, conference rooms, broadcast and recording studios, theaters, and rock concert venues all over the world. A lot of mobile phones and a growing number of cars including the new Maybach ultra-luxury sedan from DaimlerChrysler use AKG technology. So, whether you own a Maybach or not, treat your ears to tailor-made AKG sound and experience the finest reproduction available. Phones for every head. Talking about headphones, you go for the very best. So do we. Although high quality components are a prerequisite for any high quality product including headphones, it takes more than that to make an excellent product, right? In the case of AKG, the difference is more than 55 years of experience and know-how, painstaking attention to the smallest detail, and our constant endeavors to create better products that lead to future- oriented 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 that this has been a good strategy. The important thing for us is to make sure you will be satisfied with our products and services for many years. Curious? Why don’t you try our headphones and compare them against other models. I am sure you will find that AKG headphones do not just reproduce audio but make you enjoy what you hear. That’s the difference. Dr. Hugo Lenhard-Backhaus CEO, AKG Acoustics GmbH, Vienna 1947 1949 AKG history 1953 1967 1969 1978 1987 1991 1996 2001 “Pioneering spirit” best characterizes the ambitious work of AKG founders Dr. Rudolf Gorike and Ing. Ernst Pless. After the war, people went to the movies seeking distraction from the stress of post-war life, so Rudolf Gorike built movie projectors and loudspeakers, while Ernst Pless used his rucksack and bicycle to deliver the goods to constantly growing numbers of customers. Their very first customer was unable to pay in cash so he settled the bill in food, fresh from the black market. When AKG was established in 1947, the company headquarters were located in a basement in the suburbs of Vienna. Before long, many AKG microphones were in use, mainly at radio stations, in the aters, on small stages, and at jazz clubs. In the early 1950s, the two founders of AKG made their business breakthrough with completely new technologies. The micro phones of that era had a strangely shrill and hollow sound, and AKG technology added warmth and fullness to microphone’s sound. In 1953, the first AKG dynamic microphone in the world became an international success, and the first large-diaphragm condenser microphone with remotely selectable polar patterns set new standards for professional microphones. Almost every major radio or recording studio including BBC London, one of the first buyers, used these microphones. The following years saw numerous new developments. Many innovations of that period are still in use today. The K 10 headphones used by the European Parliament are but one example. AKG research engineers have always loved exotic challenges. One of those was a real-life test of hydrophones for the Austrian deep-sea scientist Hans Hass and AKG designers were happy to spend days swimming and diving at the “Di ana Bad” indoor pool in downtown Vienna that was very popular in those days. The AKG team also fulfilled the very special wishes of Herbert von Karajan. They had to hide all the microphones at the first postwar Salzburg Festival because the maestro had decreed that the audio equipment must be totally invisible to the audience. The company expanded and patents were applied for in rapid succession. AKG supplied microphones to major tape recorder manufacturers including Philips, Grundig, Uher, Loewe and others. Portable reverberation units created a new market in the 1960s and 1970s. Telephone transducers soon became a rapidly growing product line. This period also saw the advent of digital technology and AKG made its successful “digital debut” at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. As early as 1974, AKG built the first wireless headphones. At that time, consumers were skeptical and many felt the new technology was too complicated. In the late 1980s, AKG launched the K 1000 headphones that were a dramatic improvement over all earlier attempts at creating a natural, binaural headphone sound. The audio community was full of praise. The new results of psychoacoustic research were presented in exhibitions at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the Kunst Museum of Bonn, and even used by the “Audim...
