The series of eight races at the Red Bull Air Race World Championship Finals in Las Vegas has become the most advanced aerial challenge in the world. HARMAN’S AKG microphones were on the scene to bring spectators the thrills and excitement of the race as it happened, with more than 20 pilots competing at the two-day event.

AKG’s AV100 Noise-Cancelling Aviation Headset endorser Hannes Arch, who finished second in the final standings, could be seen relaxing to music on his K167 TIËSTO headphones.

Live reporters on the racetrack were furnished with HSD271 Professional Headsets with Dynamic Microphone and DMS700 V2 Reference Digital Wireless Microphone Systems. AKG WMS4500 Reference Wireless Microphone Systems were employed for live presentations on the racetrack infield.
