Microphones, headsets, and headphones all touch the user's skin so they need to meet a number of requirements to ensure skin compatibility. Ergonomic aspects, the way a product feels in the user's hand, the choice of materials and finishes, weigth and weight distribution, etc. are all major criteria for AKG product design. Styling and innovation are among the distinguishing features of any AKG product and have secured AKG a leading position in the international marketplace. In addition, microphones are among the most important props on concert stages as well as in motion picture and TV productions. Headphones, however, are lifestyle products.
Success depends on the right size, shape, and styling.
Milestones of innovation marked the way from the foundation of AKG by just two men in 1947, to the worldwide enterprise of today.
