Description
AKG GN50 E 5-Pin High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
The AKG GN50 E delivers precision-engineered gooseneck flexibility that positions the microphone exactly where you need it for optimal sound capture in the studio. The 5-pin XLR modular connection ensures rock-solid reliability and seamless integration with your mixing chain, allowing you to focus on tracking and capturing performances without signal dropout concerns. This high-performance module responds beautifully across vocals, instruments, and spoken word applications in studio environments, maintaining consistent detail across sessions.
Design & Build
At 1,490 mm (50 cm / 20 inches) in length with a 20 mm diameter, this gooseneck maintains a lightweight yet durable form factor finished in matte dark gray. The in-line detachable XLR phantom power adapter with LED ring and On/Off jumper provides intuitive control and clear feedback in the tracking booth, while the extra-large LED ring offers visual confirmation during setup and multi-take sessions.
Recording Performance
The module spans a 20–20,000 Hz audio frequency bandwidth with an integrated 250 Hz bass roll-off to reduce proximity effect and room rumble, delivering articulate presence that sits cleanly in mixes without muddiness. Operating across a wide 9–52 V power range at 3 mA with a recommended load impedance of 2,000 Ω ensures compatibility with standard audio interfaces, preamps, and mixing consoles in your studio setup.
