Starting in the late '60s, AKG started thinking of breaking the audible spectrum in two, mostly because engineering a single diaphragm for optimum performance for both highs and lows always runs up against some mutually exclusive imperatives. Just ask any speaker designer. AKG didn't want to compromise, so they accepted the problems of splitting the spectrum and came up with their first 2-way design around '68 or '69, the D 202 "Sound-Rocket" mic. To get a better picture of its appearance, type <"D 202"> and <akg> into Google Images.
Ideally, the recordings made by D 202s and D 222s should be listened to on K340 headphones. I recall the ECM recordings by the Steve Reich Ensemble used 202s for the vocals. Anyone know of any others?
