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 built for live performance and studio recording applications requiring articulate, responsive signal capture. Its modular construction accepts multiple interchangeable capsule types, making it a versatile choice for miking guitar amplifiers, drums, vocals, and instruments across broadcast, live sound, and studio environments. The matte dark gray finish and robust mechanical design deliver serious engineering for the demands of touring and session work.
Design & Build Quality
At 50cm (20 inches) with a 20mm diameter, this gooseneck positions your capsule exactly where you need it without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your rig. The highly reliable contact system integrates seamlessly with compatible capsule modules—CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80—allowing you to swap capsules to match your specific miking needs while maintaining consistent mechanical performance across gigs and sessions.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The integrated XLR phantom power adapter operates across a 9V–52V range at just 3 mA current draw, keeping demands light on your mixing console or interface. A selectable 250 Hz bass cut filter and ON/OFF jumper control let you dial out proximity effect and rumble on stage, while the 20–20,000 Hz frequency bandwidth and 2,000 Ohm recommended load impedance ensure transparent, professional-grade signal transmission via balanced 3-pin XLR male output to your mixing chain.

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.
