Frequently Asked Questions

It works with AKG’s D.A.M. capsules like the CK31 (omni), CK32 (cardioid), and CK47 (hypercardioid), each offering distinct tonal characteristics; the GN 30 E itself doesn't contribute to the sound.
It's a good balance – stiff enough to hold a capsule securely in place, but flexible enough to allow for precise positioning; it won’t flop around uncontrollably.
No, the GN 30 E is specifically designed to work with AKG’s D.A.M. capsule system and XLR connectors; it’s not a universal gooseneck.
