AKG Acoustics surround headphones manual hearo 888 DIGITAL, Welcome to digital Cloud

Welcome to digital Cloud 9.

The hearo 888 digital is a digital surround personal listening sys- tem with the kind of wireless headphones that high-end enthusi- asts have been waiting for. Digital radio transmission and digital antenna diversity circuitry afford virtually noise and dropout- free reception. Incredible as it may seem, the hearo 888 digital actually provides the same audio quality as comparable hardwired headphones.

Patented IVA processing makes the headphone sound seem to come from loudspeakers, while the integrated Dolby Surround Pro-Logicand LOGIC7 surround decoders add surround sound signals.

So, if you are looking for headphones that are equally good at dramatic movie sound effects, crystal-clear dialog, accurate music reproduction as well as the most delicate violin sound, the quietest piano notes, or the most ethereal guitar overtones, then the Hearo 888 digital is the best choice for your discriminating ears.
