AKG DJ Equipment

Founded in 1947, AKG soon became one of the biggest players in the world of sound. Today AKG is synonymous with good sound, stands for passion in music providing the highest quality and ongoing innovation in the world of music. Within months, the first AKG microphones were being used in radio stations, theatres and Jazz-Clubs. At that time, the products of the legendary AKG DYN Series were manufactured by hand by five workers. In 1949, the first AKG headphones came on the market. In the early fifties AKG made a breakthrough with several new products: Innovative technologies like the world’s first high quality condenser microphone, the D 12 with its cardioid characteristics, the world’s first remote-controlled multi-pattern capacitor microphone, the C 12 and the D 36 made acoustic history. The seventies began like the sixties ended at AKG: with continuous innovations. The company started in the seventies with the presentation of the BX 20, the world’s first, truly portable studio reverberation unit. In 1973, AKG was granted its 1000th patent. At the same time the company presented the K 140 “integrated open” headphones. These were followed by more innovations like the AKG Transversal Suspension (TS) system, the world’s first two-way headphones. As the technological leader, AKG was first in perfecting the upcoming digital technology. In 1980, the company used the first units successfully at the Moscow Olympics. After this, AKG continued with digital innovations like the BX 25 ED digital/analog reverberation unit or the large diaphragm stereo condenser microphones with advanced solid-state electronics. In the 1990s, AKG continued its product expansion and success with the new generation of headphones called the K Series, the ergonomically-shaped, triangular-section Tri-Power Series dynamic musicians’ microphones. The successful path continued throughout the nineties and early 2000s: AKG presented product innovations like the WMS 60 Multichannel Wireless Microphone System, the AKG Hearo Series or the C 4000 B the world’s first dual large-diaphragm electret microphone. The new millennium started with an even stronger AKG focus on its core products.
