AKG HSD171 Professional Headset with Dynamic Microphone
The AKG HSD171 delivers a lightweight, comfortable fit that stays out of your way during long tracking sessions and overdubs. The dynamic microphone captures a warm, present tone with excellent definition, making it equally suited for vocal recordings, instrument miking, or monitoring duties in the studio. Secure fit and stable microphone positioning ensure consistent results across multiple takes and session types.
Audio Performance & Microphone
The closed, on-ear driver produces a natural, uncolored sonic character with impressive clarity across the 18–26,000 Hz frequency range, capturing every nuance of your source material. The integrated dynamic microphone spans 60–17,000 Hz, delivering articulate vocals and instruments without coloration, while the 107 dB sensitivity ensures strong signal capture for clean recording and precise monitoring.
Design & Connectivity
The flexible microphone arm rotates through a full 270º arc and can be positioned on either the left or right side, accommodating different recording setups and mixing console layouts. An automatic mute mechanism engages as the arm swivels up, while a headband switch mutes audio when the headphones are removed—intelligent features that prevent feedback and unwanted noise during session transitions and setup changes.
