AKG 2955H00490 - 8.2' Extendable AKG MK HS Studio C Headphone Cable for Studios and Moderators

AKG 2955H00490 - MK HS Studio C Extendable Headphone Cable (1.8–2.5 m) for Studio, Moderators and Commentators

The AKG 2955H00490 , known as the MK HS Studio C , is AKG’s original extension (studio) cable for HSC/HSD headsets — including the HSC 171 and HSC 271 —, intended for applications in recording, voice-over, moderation and commentary studios . The cable features a 6-pin mini XLR connector that attaches to an AKG headphone on one end, and a 3-pin male XLR (microphone) and 6.35 mm (1/4") stereo headphone jack splitter on the other, providing a robust and professional connection to standard mixers and interfaces. The extendable length of 1.8 to 2.5 m (5.9 to 8.2 ft) provides mobility without excess cable on your mixer.

For condenser microphone models ( HSC series ), the cable integrates the HSC-PA phantom power adapter with switchable bass cut and requires 9–52 V phantom power . For dynamic microphone models ( HSD series ), the mic line does not require power. Constructed in black finish , with professional connectors and strain relief, it is a reliable OEM replacement for continuous use in broadcast and studio environments.
