Designing microphones and headphones is both a science and an art. This is a concept well understood at AKG as we have consistently married the two over the past fifty years to create some of the truest and most natural sounding microphones and headphones in history.

AKG Acoustics was founded in 1947 in Vienna, Austria, home to many legendary composers. AKG research and development laboratories are the largest, best-equipped and most productive of their kind in the world. Since AKG's beginnings, the company has become widely recognized as an innovative manufacturer of "firsts." AKG has been granted over 1,400 patents, more than all of our competitors combined. Over 300 of these patents directly involve leading edge developments in the field of transducer technology. These innovations link directly to our manufacturing processes, as AKG microphones and headphones are manufactured at the company headquarters in Vienna.

AKG Acoustics, U.S. markets the full line of AKG Acoustics microphones and headphones for recording, concert, sound reinforcement, commercial sound and broadcast applications. AKG Acoustics, U.S. is part of the Harman International family of companies.

We are proud to say that here at AKG "it all comes back to the sound." And given the legendary sound that AKG has come to be known for, we're confident that critical and discerning listeners around the world will continue to see our vision and share our commitment to AKG products.
