AKG GN50ESP - GN50 ESP Gooseneck Microphone for DAM Capsules

AKG GN50 ESP - 50cm Modular Gooseneck Microphone for DAM Capsules, with Programmable Switch, LED Ring, and XLR Output

The AKG GN50 ESP is a high-performance gooseneck module for AKG’s Discreet Acoustics Modular (DAM) series. Designed for fixed and mobile installations in conference rooms, lecterns, and houses of worship, it features a 3-pin XLR output and a programmable mute switch (on/off, push-to-talk , or push-to-mute ) with an LED ring that clearly indicates the microphone status. Its electronics offer high immunity to RF interference , a switchable low-pass filter , and 9–52 V phantom power. It is compatible with all AKG CK31, CK32, CK33, CK47, and CK80 modular capsules via high-reliability contacts. Although the designation corresponds to “50 cm,” the ESP version (with programmable switch and integrated XLR) has an overall length of 598 mm , facilitating comfortable placement on lecterns and tables.

Main features

• Programmable switch : switchable on/off , push-to-talk or push-to-mute modes to suit room protocol.
• High-visibility LED ring to indicate active/inactive microphone; controlled by internal jumper .
• Switchable low-cut filter (start at 250 Hz, ≈−10 dB at 50 Hz) to reduce table noise and rumble.
• High RF immunity thanks to electronic design optimized for environments with mobile phones and AV equipment.
• Full compatibility with AKG DAM capsules: CK31 (cardioid), CK32 (omni), CK33 (supercardioid), CK47 (hypercardioid) and CK80 (vocal supercardioid).
• Professional output : Balanced 3-pin male XLR connector integrated into the base.
• Module audio response : 20 Hz–20 kHz ; recommended load ≥ 2 kΩ ; typical consumption ≈3.5 mA .
• Power supply : phantom 9–52 V (DIN/IEC).
• Robust construction in matte dark grey , diameter 20 mm and total length 598 mm (ESP version).
• Includes windscreen to reduce plosives and air currents.

Product benefits

• Flexible operation : the programmable switch allows compliance with usage standards ( PTT / PTM ) without extra accessories.
• Cleaner signal : Switchable low-cut reduces low-frequency noise typical of furniture and HVAC.
• Instant integration : balanced XLR connection and standard phantom power.
• Visibility and control : The LED ring makes it easy to confirm the mic's status from a distance.
• DAM Scalability : The same gooseneck serves multiple CK capsules, optimizing inventory and maintenance.

Use cases

• Lecterns in auditoriums, town halls and universities.
• Conference tables and meeting rooms with floor control.
• Worship halls and theaters where a discreet and reliable solution is needed.
