AKG 2578Z13010 - Capsule Cover for Boom Microphone (HSC/HSD 171 and 271)

The AKG 2578Z13010 is the original capsule cover (also called Capsule cover / Kapselabdeckung ) used on the microphone assembly of AKG HSC/HSD professional headsets of the 171 and 271 series . This part mechanically protects the microphone capsule and serves as a seat for the windscreen and windscreen elements, preserving the acoustic integrity and reliability of the system in broadcast, intercom and ENG/EFP production environments. Being an OEM replacement, it ensures a perfect fit and full compatibility with the factory references.

According to official AKG service documentation, reference 2578Z13010 appears in position 41 of the exploded view of the boom microphone for the HSC171 / HSD171 and HSC271 / HSD271 models, next to the screen , the front and rear windscreens, and the microphone capsule itself. This allows a damaged or lost cover to be replaced while maintaining the original performance of the assembly.
