The AKG HSC 171 is a professional headset designed for commentators, off-camera moderators, camera operators, or sound engineers in broadcast and location recording applications.
The HSC 171 is notable for comfortable padded earpads, a cardioid condenser microphone with an integral phantom power adapter, optimum ambient-noise attenuation, and first-rate audio quality, while deploying a rugged detachable cable.
The flexible HSC 171 microphone arm swivels through a 270° arc, muting the microphone automatically it moves, and offers left or right side positioning according to user preference.
