AKG GN30 High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
The AKG GN30 delivers exceptional flexibility and pristine audio clarity in a compact modular form factor. Its smooth, articulate response captures full character with remarkable detail across vocal sessions, instrument miking, and drum overhead work where transparency and reliability are essential. The natural, uncolored reproduction gives you complete control over your tone, letting source material speak without masking or flattering.
Design & Build
This 30cm (12-inch) gooseneck module features a 20mm diameter with a matte dark gray finish that integrates seamlessly into modular microphone systems. The mini XLR connector allows quick installation and swapping with compatible DAM Series capsules, making reconfiguration straightforward for tracking different instruments or repositioning between takes without replacing the entire mic.
Recording Performance & Specifications
The GN30 operates across a 20–20,000 Hz frequency bandwidth with balanced XLR, male, 3-pin output and a 2000 Ohms recommended load impedance. Powered by 9 to 52V phantom power with minimal 3.5mA current draw, the included in-line XLR adapter features a 250Hz bass rolloff, LED ring, and ON/OFF jumper for precise tonal control and easy muting during setup or between takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capsules does the GN30 work with?
The GN30 module is compatible with AKG DAM Series capsules: CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80. The mini XLR connector allows quick swapping between compatible capsules for different mic characteristics.
Is the phantom power adapter included?
Yes, an in-line XLR phantom power adapter is included. It supports 9–52V phantom power, features a 250Hz bass rolloff switch, an ON/OFF jumper, and an LED ring indicator for setup verification.
What does the 250Hz bass rolloff do?
The bass rolloff on the included adapter reduces low-frequency rumble and proximity effect, helping control feedback and room noise in live venues or poorly damped rooms while keeping the midrange and presence clear.
How much phantom power does it draw?
The GN30 draws only 3.5mA of current across its 9–52V phantom power range, making it compatible with most standard audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and portable preamps without power supply strain.
What is the frequency response?
The GN30 operates across 20–20,000 Hz with a natural, uncolored response designed to capture full tonal character and detail without flattering or masking the source.
