AKG HSC171 - Closed Back On-Ear Studio Headset with 55-Ohm Impedance and 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG HSC171 Professional Headset with Condenser Microphone is designed for high-performance audio tasks such as recording, intercom systems, ENG/EFP (electronic news gathering/portable field production), and video production. This closed-back, on-ear headset is built to provide exceptional noise insulation, making it ideal for use in loud environments where high-quality sound reproduction and clear communication are crucial. Combining the renowned K171 MKII studio headphones with a professional-grade condenser microphone, the HSC171 ensures superior audio clarity and reliable performance for a range of applications.

The HSC171 features a high-performance condenser microphone mounted on a flexible boom arm that swivels 270° for easy positioning. The microphone arm automatically mutes when moved upwards, ensuring no unwanted sound is captured when it's not in use. This user-friendly feature helps maintain a clean audio environment, preventing feedback or unnecessary noise. The microphone can be mounted on either the left or right side, depending on the user's preference and available space, providing flexibility for different setups.

To enhance audio clarity, the HSC171 includes a switchable bass-cut filter that minimizes rumble and wind noise, ensuring clear communication even in challenging environments. The headset also features a built-in switch in the headband that automatically mutes the audio as soon as the headphones are removed, preventing leakage and protecting sensitive equipment. The headset uses a professional 6-pin mini XLR connector, allowing for quick and easy cable replacement, which is essential for high-demand environments like live production and broadcast work. The cable is sold separately, providing users with the option to select the appropriate cable for their specific needs.
