AKG GN50 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
Description
AKG GN50 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
The AKG GN50 E is a precision-engineered gooseneck module designed for studio recording and broadcast applications where articulate, responsive signal capture matters. Its modular construction accepts multiple interchangeable capsule types, making it an essential tool for tracking vocals, drums, instruments, and room ambience in professional and project studios. The matte dark gray finish and robust mechanical design reflect the engineering standards required for consistent session work.
Design & Build Quality
At 50cm (20 inches) with a 20mm diameter, this gooseneck provides excellent reach and stability for close-miking and room placement without adding unnecessary weight. The highly reliable contact system integrates seamlessly with compatible capsule modules—CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80—allowing you to swap capsules between sessions and sources while maintaining consistent mechanical performance and clean signal path integrity.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The integrated XLR phantom power adapter draws just 3 mA current across a 9V–52V250 Hz bass cut filter and ON/OFF jumper control let you manage proximity effect and rumble on a per-session basis, while the transparent 20–20,000 Hz frequency bandwidth and 2,000 Ohm recommended load impedance preserve detail and maintain clean gain staging through balanced 3-pin XLR male output.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capsules work with the GN50 E?
The GN50 E accepts AKG capsule modules CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80. Each capsule swaps into the same gooseneck, so you can tailor your mic to different live or studio applications without replacing the entire unit.
Does it need external phantom power?
No. The GN50 E has an integrated XLR phantom power adapter that draws only 3 mA and works with any phantom supply from 9V to 52V, so it places minimal strain on most mixing consoles and audio interfaces.
What's the frequency response and impedance?
The GN50 E spans 20–20,000 Hz with a recommended load impedance of 2,000 Ohms. It delivers a balanced XLR male output and includes a selectable 250 Hz bass cut filter to control proximity effect and rumble.
How long is the gooseneck and will it reach my source?
The gooseneck is 50cm (20 inches) long with a 20mm diameter, providing good reach and stability for tabletop speaking positions, lecterns, and instrument placement without excessive weight.
