AKG GN30 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
Description
AKG GN30 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
The AKG GN30 E is a flexible gooseneck module engineered for precise microphone positioning in studio recording and live sound capture. Its 30cm length and 20mm diameter provide the articulation needed for placing mics exactly where they need to sit relative to instruments, vocals, and other sound sources. Built as part of AKG's modular system, this component integrates seamlessly with compatible capsules to deliver studio-grade performance across diverse recording scenarios.
Design & Build
Constructed in matte dark gray with a durable 30cm gooseneck design, the GN30 E offers ergonomic flexibility for positioning near sound sources in tight tracking setups. The modular architecture accepts five compatible capsule options—CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80—allowing you to swap capsules to match frequency response and pickup patterns to your source material without replacing the entire assembly. This modularity streamlines session workflow and mic selection.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The module delivers a full 20 to 20,000 Hz frequency bandwidth with an integrated 250Hz bass rolloff switch for managing proximity effect and controlling low-end rumble during tracking. Audio routes through a balanced XLR 3-pin male connector with integrated phantom power adapter, supporting 9V–52V operation and drawing minimal current at 3mA for clean, noise-free transmission to your preamp or interface.

At a Glance
The AKG GN30 E is a modular 30cm gooseneck that gives you precision positioning and tonal flexibility in the studio by letting you choose from five compatible capsules to shape frequency response and polar pattern for any source. A 250Hz bass rolloff switch helps control proximity effect and low-end mud during tracking, while the balanced XLR connection with integrated phantom power adapter delivers clean, noise-free signal to your interface or mixer. Full 20Hz–20kHz bandwidth covers everything from kick drum to vocal sibilance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capsules work with the GN30 E?
The GN30 E accepts five compatible capsule options: CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80. Each capsule offers different frequency response and pickup patterns, so you can tailor the mic to your specific source without replacing the entire gooseneck module.
Does it require phantom power, and what range does it support?
Yes, the GN30 E requires phantom power and supports a wide range from 9V to 52V, drawing only 3mA for clean operation. This broad compatibility works with most professional preamps, mixers, and audio interfaces.
What does the 250Hz bass rolloff switch do?
The integrated 250Hz bass rolloff switch reduces low-frequency rumble and proximity effect, helping you capture cleaner audio when miking close to instruments or vocals and preventing mud from handling noise and room reflections.
How long is the gooseneck, and what kind of connector does it use?
The GN30 E is 30cm (12 inches) long with a 20mm diameter, providing flexible positioning near sound sources. It outputs via a balanced XLR 3-pin male connector for professional-grade, noise-free audio transmission.
