The AKG brand definitely became famous around the world in 1953, when it launched the D12 microphone on the market, which it continued to improve over the years. In the 90s of the 20th century, it came under the Harman International Industries company, and subsequently its subsidiaries were established, for example, in Germany and the United States. In the early 1990s, as part of the Audimir project, AKG products were sent into space, where they were part of a simulation of a closed space in open space.
