AKG – The Story of a Legendary Brand
see AKG products

For more than five decades, AKG has been a leading manufacturer of microphones and headphones to the highest standards of quality and reliability. In 1947, AKG was established in Vienna, Austria, the musical home of the greatest
composers of all time, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Mahler, Schönberg, and, of course, the Strauss family. Starting out as a two-man company, AKG grew into a leading audio manufacturer with more than 1400 international patents. The related experience and engineering know-how are the foundation of the unique sound of AKG products as well as the reputation and popularity of the legendary AKG brand. Today, AKG products are available throughout the world and have become a standard in many radio and TV studios. Did you know that according to the 1990 Billboard Survey every US recording studio uses at least one AKG product? A strategy of engineering innovation, cost efficient production, and identifying and responding to new trends early on is the mainstay of the company's success. As a result, growth rates for the relatively new lines of sound system, wireless, telecom, and OEM products have been rising year after year. AKG's core lines of headphones, studio, and performance microphones have been a sound foundation of continued success that is constantly enlarged and strengthened with innovative, new products. With the new R&D center opened in 2002, AKG now has unique engineering resources to meet the challenges of the future.


“When it comes to microphones, headphones, conference systems, sound system and PA products, choose AKG. The engineering competence and worldwide reputation of the AKG brand give you the confidence of using equipment meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability.”

Dr. Hugo Lenhard-Backhaus – CEO, AKG Vienna
