Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference in coverage between 30cm and 50cm goosenecks?
The 30cm neck suits speakers seated directly at the microphone station (typical executive boardroom). The 50cm neck extends effective reach across larger conference tables or stage setups, eliminating the need for speakers to lean forward or reposition the unit.
Are the audio capsules the same between the two models?
No. The 30cm model uses the CS321 cardioid capsule, while the 50cm uses the CS521. Both deliver >80dB SNR and smooth speech reproduction, but the different capsule designations suggest slight design optimizations for their respective gooseneck lengths.
Which is better for broadcast or live sound?
The 50cm gooseneck is more versatile for live sound and broadcast because it accommodates varying speaker distances and stage setups. The 30cm is ideal for fixed broadcast desk applications where talent sits consistently close to the station.
Are there any differences in power, connectivity, or build quality?
Both operate on 24V DC, draw 3W, include 2-meter DIN cables, dual 3.5mm headphone outputs, and integrated 2W loudspeakers. The 30cm is rated at 170×143×63mm and 1kg; detailed dimensions for the 50cm are not provided, but the longer neck may add minor weight and footprint.
