AKG GN15 ESP High Performance Modular Gooseneck Modules
Description
AKG GN15 ESP High Performance Modular Gooseneck Modules
The AKG GN15 ESP gooseneck modules deliver professional-grade engineering with intuitive positioning and responsive handling for live sound reinforcement. The modular design allows precise placement and tonal shaping across stage applications, backing vocals, and studio setups. These modules combine sonic clarity with controlled proximity effect and robust feedback rejection, making them reliable workhorses for gigging musicians and touring sound engineers.
Design & Build
At 15cm (6 inches) in length with a 0.8" diameter, the compact gooseneck form factor enables flexible positioning without bulk on crowded stages and in tight live setups. The standard 3-pin male XLR connector integrates seamlessly into existing touring rigs and supports modular capsule swapping for tonal flexibility across different performance venues and applications.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The 20 to 20,000 Hz frequency response captures full-spectrum audio detail for natural vocal and instrument reproduction on stage, while the 2,000 Ohms recommended load impedance ensures optimal signal integrity with standard mixing consoles and wireless systems. 9 to 52V phantom power support (drawing only 3.5 mA) works reliably with touring consoles and portable wireless systems without power supply complications.

Reviews
At a Glance
The AKG GN15 ESP is a compact 15cm modular gooseneck microphone module with swappable capsules, designed for live sound, broadcast, and installed systems where precise mic placement and tonal control matter. Sound engineers and live-sound techs choose it for rock-solid feedback rejection, flexible positioning without bulk, and the ability to swap capsules (CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, CK80) to dial in the right character for spoken word, vocals, or instruments on stage. Its programmable mute modes, RF shielding, and phantom-power efficiency make it a dependable workhorse for touring rigs and permanent venue installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capsules are compatible with the GN15 ESP?
The GN15 ESP accepts AKG DAM Series capsules: CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80. Each capsule offers different tonal characteristics, allowing you to swap modules to suit different applications without replacing the entire gooseneck.
What mute modes does it offer?
The GN15 ESP includes three programmable mute modes: on/off, push-to-talk, and push-to-mute. This flexibility accommodates broadcast, live performance, and installed-sound setups where muting control is essential.
Does it work with my existing console and wireless system?
Yes. The GN15 ESP supports 9 to 52V phantom power at only 3.5 mA draw, so it operates cleanly with standard mixing consoles and wireless systems without power supply complications. It connects via standard 3-pin male XLR.
How does the integrated bass rolloff filter help?
The selectable bass rolloff filter reduces low-frequency rumble and proximity-effect buildup, keeping vocals and speech clear and focused in live and studio recording without requiring separate EQ gear.
What is the frequency response and impedance?
The GN15 ESP delivers 20 to 20,000 Hz frequency response with a recommended 2,000 Ohms load impedance for optimal signal integrity in professional installations.
