For more than 50 years, AKG Acoustics
has been the leading manufacturer of
microphones, headphones and acces-
sories, as well as OEM and telecommuni-
cation products. Our logo with the three
cardioids stands for technical innovation,
supreme quality, and excellent worldwide
reputation.
Discreet Acoustics is synonymous to
highest requirements in the installed
sound area. Key prerequisites for suc-
cessful sound reinforcement products
include an especially rugged design (long
life and high fail safety), unfailingly high
acoustic quality for optimum speech
reproduction, excellent electromagnetic
compatibility and a wide range of acces-
sories that will help you cope with the
most difficult installation requirements.
Most sound systems must be practically
invisible, easy to operate, and attractively
styled. AKG meets each of these require-
ments – and brilliantly at that.
The Discreet Acoustics Modular Series
features a flexible modular system of cap-
sules and installation modules that can be
combined any way you please. Every situ-
ation has its individual needs that can be
easily fulfilled with the Discreet Acoustics
Modular Series. And there are numerous
new improvements and features that you
will not want to do without!
The Discreet Acoustics Compact Series is
of the latest addition to the Discreet
Acoustics line. Based on the Modular
Series, the most frequently used combina-
tions were pre-assembled into non-modu-
lar units.
No matter whether you choose the
Modular Series or the Compact Series,
AKG Discreet Acoustics products, created
with the experience of a worldwide lead-
ing audio manufacturer, will help you find
the optimum solution for any application.
Lecture hall of the Law School at the University of Pennsylvania
The GN 30 E gooseneck and the CK 31 capsule were selected as the ideal combination, since the
cardioid polar pattern of each CK 31 capsule ensures the ideal pickup angle for two students (total
capacity: 72 students). All lines right up to the capsule are fully shielded to provide optimum immu-
nity to electromagnetic interferences (e.g., from mobile phones). The hall was preserved in its original
Victorian style, with every two students sharing one permanently installed AKG microphone.
Düsseldorfer Landtag (Building of the
Düsseldorf Land Parliament, Germany)
Media technology is a crucial issue not only for
economic experts, but also for politicians. The
Düsseldorfer Landtag building was equipped by
Siemens Building Technologies with state-of-the-
art sound systems and innovative media technolo-
gy. For AKG, this project was a huge challenge.
Within a very short time, over 500 microphones had
to be manufactured individually and integrated into
existing components. “We implemented the project
within six months. This was made possible thanks
to the perfect cooperation of all partners on the
project team. Customer satisfaction is excellent,”
says Siemens project manager Jürgen Schaaff.
Norwegian Criminal Police Headquarters
The hall of the Norwegian Police Headquarters
has 160 seats, 84 of which are equipped with
GN 30 goosenecks + CK 31 capsules mount-
ed in an H 500 fixture. All microphones are
controlled by eleven AS 8 automatic mixers.
