Frequently asked questions
Can I use these together?
No. The GN50 E is a gooseneck module that requires a separate capsule module and mounting system; the PZM11 LL WR is a complete standalone microphone.
Which is better for outdoor recording?
The PZM11 LL WR is designed for weather-resistant outdoor use with a protective plastic membrane. The GN50 E is not weather-rated and is intended for indoor fixed installations.
Which works better for capturing room ambience or wide soundscapes?
The PZM11 LL WR boundary layer design captures wide-area ambient pickup with minimal proximity effect. The GN50 E is a gooseneck point-source component designed for close-proximity speech and instrument capture.
Do I need external gear to use either microphone?
The GN50 E requires a compatible capsule module, mounting hardware, and a mixing console or interface with phantom power. The PZM11 LL WR is a complete microphone requiring only an XLR cable and phantom power.
