Frequently asked questions
Can I use these together?
Yes. The K240 MKII headphones let you hear what the microphone mounted in the H600 shock mount is capturing. They work in different parts of your signal chain and complement each other.
What microphone does the H600 fit?
The H600 requires a 2.1 inch (53 mm) mounting hole and is compatible with AKG E and ES version gooseneck modules. Check your microphone's specifications to confirm compatibility.
Will the K240 MKII work for recording vocals if I don't have a shock mount?
The K240 MKII are headphones for monitoring playback during mixing and mastering, not for recording. You need a microphone (like an AKG model) mounted in a shock mount like the H600 to actually capture vocals.
Which is better for a home studio on a budget?
Both are budget-tier tools. Prioritize the K240 MKII first if you're starting out, since you need accurate monitoring to hear what you're recording. Add the H600 later when you're ready to upgrade your recording quality and reduce unwanted vibration noise.
