[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hye-young] AKG, a brand of Harman International, an audio and automotive subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, announced on the 24th that it will launch the high-resolution dual-pattern microphone 'AKG ARA.'

The AKG ARA is a microphone optimized for YouTube video production, podcast recording, gaming, and video conferencing, including creators. Harman explained that it features AKG's audio technology with 96kHz/24bit high-resolution digital audio and dual pattern modes, which can enhance the quality of content creation.

Equipped with a headphone output function, it allows real-time monitoring, and the zero-latency feature minimizes monitoring delay even when dubbing over pre-recorded tracks.

The AKG ARA, which offers dual pattern modes, allows users to set the desired direction to capture sound more precisely. Users can select between two modes, 'Front' and 'Front & Back,' via a knob located on the microphone's front panel.

The Front mode focuses on sounds and voices from the front of the microphone, minimizing unnecessary surrounding noise, making it suitable for personal broadcasting streaming, podcasts, presentations, and vocalist recordings. The Front & Back mode captures sounds and voices from both the front and back of the microphone, making it useful for indoor performances with multiple participants or group interviews.

The AKG ARA dual-pattern microphone can be used with various devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones through a USB-C connection and is compatible with multiple operating systems including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. It is available for purchase through Samsung.com, major online malls, and Harman's professional online mall Harman the Shop, with a launch price in the 130,000 KRW range.
