No matter if you’re going solo on your own podcasts, or recording shows with a guest, AKG’s ‘Podcaster Essential’s makes sure you can be set up and getting to work right away! There’s no requirement to install any drivers or a separate audio interface; with ‘Lyra’, it really is just a case of plug-and-play with Mac/Windows systems and iOS/Android setups!

Ultra HD-grade 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution Showcasing advanced circuitry inspired by 70 years of legendary AKG acoustic engineering, the AKG Lyra provides the highest audio quality in its field, with acoustically transparent, 4K-compatible, Ultra HD-grade 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution.

Lyra arrives with the innovative AKG Adaptive Capsule Array, a nifty little feature that allows user-selectable capture modes which are optimized for any performance and makes it easy to deliver a professional, optimal sound for any given application. The simple plug-and-play operation enables creators of all experience levels to get set up with and start recording in no time, all the while the easily accessible controls provide flawless and effortless operation.

An internal self-adjusting shock mount reduces contact noise, while a built-in sound diffuser along with AKG’s proprietary Internal Element Overload Prevention automatically decreases noise, gets rid of pops and boosts signal levels.

Wider stereo separation, room ambience, and depth The AKG Adaptive Capsule Array adopts four versatile capture modes to accommodate to performance needs, eradicating guesswork and giving users the ability to capture unprecedented audio quality in a wide range of recording scenarios. Front mode confines the target sound from distracting background noise by blocking unwanted sounds at the back and sides of the microphone, ideal for capturing or live-streaming spoken word, vocals, or close-mic’d instruments.

Front and back mode captures and mixes together sound equally on all sides, which is perfect for face-to-face interviews and duets. Tight Stereo mode captures audio in true stereo with discreet left and right audio, delivering great separation for side-by-side interviews or panel discussions, or for recording instruments like drums or piano. Wide stereo mode captures audio with a wider stereo separation, room ambience, and depth. This is optimal for dynamic situations where users want to capture sounds from all around the mic such as documentaries, field recordings, or spontaneous jam sessions.

5Hz – 40kHz frequency response!No matter if you’re a recording musician, studio engineer, podcaster, video editor or YouTuber, one thing we all have in common is, we’re always in creative mode. AKG’s ‘K371’ Professional Studio Headphones find the perfect harmony between studio-grade sound, luxurious comfort and sleek aesthetic design.

The ‘K371’s have been painstakingly engineered to match AKG’s ‘Reference Response’ acoustic target to authentically reproduce natural, balanced audio in incredible detail, allowing you to make decisions with greater confidence when mixing and editing. The ‘K371’s pack punching bass and higher highs, greater than any other headphone in their class, with an impressive frequency response of 5Hz – 40kHz!

AKG included plus, luxurious earcups to ensure your ears remain in magnificent comfort too – because once you hear just how good these headphones sound, you’ll never want to take them off!
