AKG 2656Z12010 - Screen for HSC171 (protective grille/screen for boom microphone)

AKG reference 2656Z12010 is the original windscreen (grille/internal screen) for the AKG HSC171 headset boom microphone assembly. It is an OEM replacement designed to maintain the integrity of the capsule assembly, offering mechanical protection and support to the microphone elements and working in conjunction with the front and rear windscreens defined in the service documentation. As the official part, it guarantees factory fit and tolerances and preserves the performance of the HSC171 voice pickup system.

According to AKG service manuals, this windscreen appears specifically on the HSC171 and also on the HSC271 family, making it a reliable replacement when performing maintenance or repairs on the microphone boom arm of these models. It should not be confused with foam windscreens (e.g., W44) or front/rear windscreens , which are different references.
