AKG GN50 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module B-Stock
Description
AKG GN50 E High Performance Modular Gooseneck Module
The GN50 E is a professional-grade 50cm gooseneck module built for live sound and permanent installations where reliability matters. Its flexible yet stable construction positions your mic exactly where you need it, while the integrated XLR phantom power adapter and balanced audio output eliminate extra cables and gear clutter on your pedalboard or stage setup. Built to deliver consistent performance night after night, this module prioritizes straightforward setup and bulletproof dependability.
Design & Build Quality
At 50cm (20 inches) long with a 20mm diameter, this gooseneck delivers reach without sacrificing structural rigidity—it holds its position under stage conditions. The matte dark gray finish stays visually neutral on stage or in fixed setups, while highly reliable contact points guarantee consistent electrical connection with any compatible DAM Series capsule. Integrated LED ring indicator and ON/OFF jumper give you instant visual feedback on system status without needing external monitoring gear.
Audio Performance & Specifications
The module delivers a 20–20,000 Hz frequency bandwidth suited for vocal and speech applications, with a switchable 250 Hz bass cut filter that effectively reduces proximity effect and ambient noise—critical for live sound reinforcement on any stage. The balanced XLR 3-pin male output connects directly to any standard mixing console with 2,000 Ohms recommended load impedance, while the integrated adapter operates across 9V–52V phantom power with minimal 3mA current draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this gooseneck module?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with manufacturer warranty coverage, but features minor cosmetic imperfections on the external housing or surfaces. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on audio performance, durability, or operation.
Which capsules are compatible with the GN50 E?
The GN50 E is compatible with AKG DAM Series capsules: CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80. The module's contact points provide reliable electrical connection to any of these compatible capsule modules.
Does the gooseneck include phantom power, or do I need external equipment?
The integrated XLR phantom power adapter handles power directly—it operates across 9V–52V phantom power with minimal 3mA current draw, so you connect the balanced XLR 3-pin output straight to your mixing console without extra hardware.
What does the switchable 250 Hz bass cut filter do?
The filter reduces proximity effect (the boomy bass buildup that occurs when a speaker or vocalist is very close to the mic) and helps control ambient noise, making it valuable for live sound reinforcement and speech-heavy applications.
What is the recommended mixing console impedance for this module?
The GN50 E is designed for a 2,000 Ohms recommended load impedance on the mixing console or audio interface receiving the balanced XLR output.
