From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The AKG K 240 Studio is an update of the "classic" AKG K 240
Monitor. The new K 240 Studio delivers even wider dynamic range
and higher sensitivity than its well-known and widely-used
predecessor. The secret to the semi-open K 240 Studio's sound
quality is the new XXL transducers in acoustically tuned vented
enclosures with circumaural (around the ear) pads. The
circumaural pads envelope your ears nicely and reward you with
smooth, solid bass and well-balanced, articulate mids and highs.
Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1947, AKG has built a legendary
reputation in the professional audio industry for products that
perform flawlessly. The reputation of AKG and its celebrated
quality are built on more than 55 years of experience, incredible
design, meticulous craftsmanship and a clear understanding of
what truly sounds right. AKG introduced the K 140 in 1974 and the
K 240 Monitor in 1975, which became the most widely used
headphones in studios and broadcast facilities
worldwide. Generations of musicians and audio engineers use these
AKG products to create great mixes, hit songs and albums
cherished by millions around the world. The new AKG Professional
Studio headphones carry on the tradition of these audio tools and
are a sound investment that will pay handsome returns with years
of flawless sonic performance for professional
engineers and demanding users of high quality home or portable
audio equipment.
Delivers solid bass and well-balanced mids and highs
XXL Transducers with Varimotion Diaphragm
-----------------------------------------
The new XXL transducers use AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm
to ensure extremely accurate response at any listening level.
This technology creates a diaphragm that is thinner, more elastic
toward the outside edges for more powerful bass response and
thicker, less resonant in the center for pure, accurate mids and
clear, detailed highs. The large size of the transducers makes
the overall sound more life-like and three-dimensional to capture
the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.
Gimbal-Type Suspension
----------------------
To ensure your listening comfort, AKG Professional Studio
headphones utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible
steel structure to deliver optimum fit for your headphones
without any fiddling. The structure is flexible, yet strong
enough to allow bending for single ear use and is durable enough
to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-type suspension ensures the
earcups of all AKG Professional Studio models will conform to the
shape and size of your ears without pressing on them for hours of
igue-free, comfortable listening.
Wear Them As You Like
---------------------
Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound
allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear
them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio
headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are
durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during
transport or on stage.
Detachable Cable with Mini XLR Connector
----------------------------------------
The new AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a detachable
input cable for easy replacement if ever necessary. The cable and
headphones use mini XLR connectors for perfect contact and secure
mechanical connection. The cable is made of 99.99% oxygen-free
copper and has gold plated plugs on both ends including the
screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" stereo jack adapter for maximum signal
transfer.
Perfect for Portable Audio
--------------------------
You need good quality audio for all your listening--including
computer, minidisc, portable CD or DAT player--as well as in the
studio. Owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range,
the AKG Professional Series headphones are efficient enough to be
used with these lower level output sources and still deliver the
high definition sound you need when working in the studio or on
stage. The excellent workmanship AKG headphones are known for and
high quality components ensure loss-free transmission and
reproduction of high-resolution signals from all types of digital
audio sources.
