AKG GN 50 ESP Gooseneck Microphone

Gooseneck module for quick setup and takedown, with integrated noiseless on/off switch. The switch will default to "off" as the sound system is powered up and needs to be pressed to activate the microphone. An LED ring indicates whether the microphone is on or off. The goosenecks are available in various lengths. GN 15 ES: 23.5 cm (9.2 in.); GN 30 ES: 38 cm (15 in.); GN 50 ES: 57.2 cm (22.3 in.). Of course the series also has an integrated 200 Hz bass rolloff filter and LED ON/OFF jumper.

On/off switch

The GN ES series features a completely noiseless switch. Rather than actually disconnecting the signal, it reduces the level by 26 dB, thus avoiding the irritating crackling sound when phantom powering is interrupted. The switch is inconspicuously placed but easily accessible for simple handling even by inexperienced talkers.
