Informazioni sulla sicurezza
To prevent damage to your hearing or the headphones, please observe the following safety guidelines:
- Avoid listening at high volume levels for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can cause permanent hearing damage.
- Non utilizzare le cuffie in situazioni in cui l'impossibilità di sentire i suoni ambientali potrebbe essere pericolosa, ad esempio mentre si guida, si va in bicicletta o si cammina nel traffico.
- Keep the headphones away from water and moisture. Do not immerse them in liquid.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the headphones. This may void the warranty and could result in damage.
- Clean the headphones only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

- For devices with a 6.3mm (1/4 inch) audio output (e.g., studio equipment, home audio receivers), screw the included 6.3mm adapter onto the 3.5mm jack, then plug it into the audio output port. Ensure the adapter is securely fastened.

Istruzioni per l'uso
The AKG K701 headphones are passive and do not require power. Operation is straightforward:
- Wear the Headphones: Place the headphones on your head so that the earcups fully enclose your ears. The "L" (Left) and "R" (Right) indicators are located on the inside of the headband near the earcup attachment points. Ensure correct orientation for optimal stereo imaging.
- Regola volume: Control the listening volume directly from your connected audio source (e.g., amplifier, computer, music player). Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.
- Design aperto sul retro: The K701 features an open-back design, which provides a wide soundstage and natural sound reproduction. Be aware that this design allows sound to leak out and ambient sound to enter, making them ideal for quiet listening environments rather than noisy public spaces.
Manutenzione
Proper care will help maintain the performance and appearance of your headphones:
- Pulizia: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surfaces of the headphones. For the ear pads, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure they are completely dry before use. Do not use cleaning sprays directly on the headphones.
- Magazzinaggio: When not in use, store the headphones in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If a headphone stand was included, utilize it for proper storage to prevent cable damage and maintain shape.
