GN 15 (30, 50) E 5Pin


  • Gooseneck with 5-pin XLR connector
  • Extra large controllable LED ring
  • Highly reliable contacts for capsule modules
  • Integrated switchable bass cut

Similar to the GN E Modules, the GN E 5Pin Modules come with an integrated connector with phantom power adapter. One special feature is the 5-pin XLR connector, which ensures that the extra-large LED ring can be activated and deactivated using a separate power supply, e.g., a Logic out from the AS 16 x 12 automatic mixer. The LED ring is extra large for enhanced visibility. Of course the GN E 5Pin also has the same features as all Discreet Acoustics Modular Series installation modules, such as a gold-plated thread for screwing on the capsule, integrated switchable bass cut, and extremely strong joints that will withstand the toughest kind of usage.

5-pin connector

The 5-pin XLR connector allows the audio signal and the control voltage for the LED ring to be fed separately.

The gooseneck module shall be 235/380/572 mm long and provide a rugged threaded connection and selfcleaning, large gold plated contacts mating with all Discreet Acoustics Modular capsule modules. The module shall contain an integrated LED ring operating off conventional phantom power or an external power supply. The module shall be finished in dark-gray, low-glare multilayer enamel. The GN 15 (30/50) E shall provide a 5-pin XLR connector configured for independent LED ring control and a (DPA) phantom power adapter. Jumpers inside the phantom power adapter shall allow the highpass filter and LED ring to be switched in and out of circuit. The net/shipping weight of the GN 15 E 5pin shall be 112/396 grams; of the GN 30 E 5pin 160/530 grams; and of the GN 50 E 5pin 160/535 grams.
