Frequently asked questions
What is the main physical difference between these two goosenecks?
The GN30 is 30cm (12 inches) long, while the GN50 E is 50cm (20 inches) long. Both have identical 20mm diameter and matte dark gray finish, but the GN50 E offers nearly twice the reach for positioning flexibility on larger stages.
Why does the GN50 E use a 5-pin XLR instead of mini XLR like the GN30?
The 5-pin XLR on the GN50 E carries both audio signal and separate control voltage for the LED ring, providing independent on-stage control. The GN30's mini XLR is simpler and designed for modular capsule compatibility with the DAM Series.
Do both goosenecks work with the same microphone capsules and phantom power?
Both operate on 9–52V phantom power at 3.5mA and span 20–20,000 Hz with 250Hz bass rolloff. However, the GN30 uses mini XLR for modular DAM Series capsules, while the GN50 E uses 5-pin XLR, so they are not directly interchangeable.
Which is better for a lectern or fixed broadcast booth setup?
The GN30's compact 30cm length is ideal for lecterns and close-quarters broadcast booths where space is limited. The GN50 E is better for larger podiums, stages, or any installation where you need the microphone to project further from its mounting base.
