Headphones are experiencing ever greater acceptance among discerning music lovers - at home and on the road. Reason enough for AKG to develop the most uncompromising headphones in the company's history - the AKG K812. The K812 manifest the experience of more than 65 years of top performance in professional and studio technology. The result: headphones that define today the standard of tomorrow.
For the first time, the AKG K812 combines the sonic capabilities of world-class electrostats with the build quality and reliability of professional studio headphones in one dynamic system. At the heart of this exceptional headphone is a pioneering oscillating system driven by an unprecedentedly powerful neodymium magnet with 1.5 Tesla field strength. This extraordinary power ensures perfect control of the copper-coated aluminum voice coil in any situation. The material mix guarantees excellent conductivity and low weight at the same time; ideal conditions for signal fidelity and neutrality.
An ingeniously shaped composite diaphragm with an impressive 53 millimeter diameter enables the breathtakingly wide frequency range from five hertz to 54 kHz. Because of the flow-optimized oscillating system, compression effects are completely foreign to the K812. Thanks to the AKG K812's open design, reflections that can distort the sound are prevented at the outset. From the blackest subcontra-octave bass to dizzying highs, whether whisper levels or brute volumes, the K812 reproduces music exactly as it was previously stored. The AKG K812 neither suppresses nor adds anything.
The K812 complements this unique fidelity and neutrality with a power handling and build quality that also sets a new standard in the studio segment. These headphones are mechanically and sonically state-of-the-art, with construction and materials optimized for years of use. If the worst comes to the worst, every single element can be replaced in a service-friendly manner. Technically, the K812 has been deliberately designed so that it can be used with mobile devices without compromising quality. This means that, for the first time, music enjoyment on the move is possible that puts everything that has gone before in the shade.
Like no other model, the AKG K812 combines audiophile excellence with the uncompromising craftsmanship, power handling and reliability of professional studio headphones. The AKG K812 defines the limit of what is possible - in the long run.
