AKG K-601 HEADPHONES

AKG engineers have long pursued the goal of bringing the world’s best concert halls into the audio enthusiast’s home. The K-601 represents the closest approach yet to this ideal. This new open-back dynamic headphone uses a newly-developed transducer with a two-layer diaphragm for unsurpassed transient response and accuracy.

AKG’s patented Varimotion design varies the diaphragm’s thickness: the 80 µm center zone is virtually pistonic for well-balanced HF response, while the 40 µm perimeter is highly elastic to accommodate the increased excursion required for accurate midrange and LF reproduction. The K-601 drives this new Varimotion transducer with a flat wire voice coil – another in AKG’s long series of firsts. With an updated design in white, brushed aluminum and sienna, these new headphones embody functionally esthetic styling as well as transparency and accuracy that will excite both audiophiles and recording engineers.

Precisely tailored response and cutting-edge design: a must for all audiophiles.

These future-oriented, open-back dynamic headphones do not only offer good wearing comfort but also deliver an incredibly detailed, full, yet crisp sound. This is the result of a new AKG Varimotion two-layer diaphragm that ensures optimum diaphragm motion for extremely accurate highfrequency response and a powerful low end.

The overall sound is uncommonly natural and open. In short, the K 601 are premium reference headphones for anyone who appreciates true high-end equipment.

The AKG Varimotion speaker The basis of superior audio performance

The heart of any headphone is the diaphragm. Made of extremely thin foil, the diaphragm is required by transducer designers to perform incredible, almost artistic feats. The rim of the diaphragm must vibrate elastically while the center portion should move like a piston. AKG achieved just that by designing the Varimotion system.
The "sound zone" in the center is thicker than the rim and therefore moves like a piston with no partial oscillations. The result is an absolutely realistic sound, with a better sonic perspective and an airier high end. The rim, or "movement zone", is thinner and vibrates more easily, providing a powerful, punchy bass range.

Each individually tested and numbered K-601 comes in its own storage cradle, which in turn is enclosed in a presentation case.

AKG products are the synthesis of premium European design and impeccable workmanship infused with an intimate understanding of what truly sounds right. AKG engineers work in one of the largest and most advanced acoustics laboratories in Europe equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that enable them to fine-tune products to the highest degree.

The acceptance and use of AKG products by leading engineers and musicians for demanding recording, broadcast and live sound applications and by architects and consultants for installed sound projects is a testament to their incredible sound, bullet-proof reliability and long-lasting quality. You can use AKG products with confidence that your equipment meets the highest standards.
