AKG Podcaster Essentials Bundle

With the AKG Podcaster Essentials Kit, the manufacturer offers an all-in-one podcasting bundle for all content creators who value high audio quality and want to do without additional hardware such as interfaces, speakers, etc. The kit includes the popular K-371 headphones and the Lyra USB microphone with selectable polar pattern.

USB microphone with selectable polar pattern

AKG Lyra is a practical USB microphone for creating podcasts - whether you want to make excellent voice recordings in seconds or record your instrument. Thanks to a 192 kHz / 24-bit resolution, you get professional, studio-quality results. However, the AKG Lyra microphone's special feature is its sophisticated 4-microphone capsule array that allows you to switch between different characteristics. This makes it possible to not only influence the sound, but also to record vocals and guitar simultaneously from the front and rear of the microphone.

On the bottom of the Lyra there is also a headphone output, which allows latency-free monitoring of the input signal. This means that the USB microphone can even be used as a qualitative USB sound card with a stereo headphone connection for outputting audio files. A mix control allows you to switch smoothly between microphone monitoring and computer output.

Not to be overlooked is the special design with the sturdy, solid metal stand, which not only allows safe positioning and ideal alignment of the AKG Lyra, but also helps to suppress interfering noises such as footfall sound, which could be transmitted via the tabletop, for example.

The AKG Lyra USB Microphone can also be used on a computer or smartphone in a flash without the need to install drivers. This gives you versatile recording and streaming capabilities and allows you to enjoy great recordings no matter where you are.  

The popular Ableton Live 10 Lite recording software is included to get you started right away.

Over-ear studio headphones in closed design

The AKG K371 is a closed-back, circumaural studio headphone. Its titanium-coated 50mm drivers provide dynamic sound reproduction, high volume and rich bass, whereas the closed-back design provides optimal shielding from outside noise and avoids crosstalk during instrument or vocal recordings. This combination of features, together with high sensitivity and low impedance, makes the K371 the perfect companion not only for USB interfaces in the studio, but also for smartphones and on the move. Furthermore, the frequency response from 5Hz to 40 kHz covers the entire audible range. 

AKG's studio headphones also score points for their rugged construction with metal reinforcement for reliable durability. The oval foam ear cushions ergonomically adjust to the shape of the head and guarantee comfort even during long sessions. The scope of delivery also includes a carrying case, a 3m spiral cable, 1.2m and 3m straight cables and a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adapter. This makes the AKG K371 headphones a practical workhorse for musicians, producers, YouTuber and podcasters.
