Lewitt GN15X Conference Gooseneck - Single-Bend, 5.9 in, Phantom Pass-Through

Lewitt GN15X: A Short, Rigid Gooseneck for Close Conference Pickup

The Lewitt GN15X is a single-bend conference microphone gooseneck, roughly 5.9 in (150 mm) long. It is the middle element of a modular conference microphone -- it drops into a Lewitt conference base below and accepts an interchangeable S-series condenser capsule above, forming the flexible arm that positions the capsule exactly where a talker's voice needs it. Short, discreet, and endlessly re-configurable, the GN15X is how a clean conference system reaches the speaker without cluttering the table.

How the Modular Gooseneck Fits the System

A conference microphone is built in three interchangeable parts: a base on the table, a gooseneck in the middle, and a condenser capsule on top. The GN15X is that middle piece -- a shaped, flexible tube with a 3-pin XLR fitting on the bottom that seats into a Lewitt base (such as the B70A or B70AS) and a mount on top that accepts an S-series capsule. Because every part is separate, an installer chooses the gooseneck length that suits each seat and the capsule pattern that suits each room, then swaps any single component later without replacing the whole microphone. The GN15X's single bend and short 5.9 in (150 mm) reach make it ideal for lecterns and desktop positions where the capsule needs to sit close and low.

Carrying Signal and Phantom Power Through the Arm

The gooseneck is more than a stand -- it is part of the signal path. The GN15X carries the capsule's audio down its length to the base through a balanced connection, and it passes 48V phantom power the other way, up from the base to the condenser capsule that depends on it. There is no electronics or power of its own to manage: the arm simply and reliably conducts signal down and phantom up, so the whole three-part assembly runs on the single phantom-capable input feeding the base. That clean pass-through is what lets the modular system behave like one integrated microphone.

Your Pickup Pattern Lives in the Capsule

One of the smartest ideas in the modular design is that the GN15X itself has no fixed pickup pattern -- the pattern is determined entirely by the S-series condenser capsule you thread onto the top. Choose a tighter, more directional capsule for a noisy room or a single talker, or a wider one for a shared position, and the same GN15X arm adapts to either. That separation means the gooseneck is a long-term investment: as room needs change, you swap capsules rather than whole microphones, and the arm keeps doing its one job -- putting the capsule in exactly the right place.

Where the GN15X Fits Best

The short single-bend GN15X is at home wherever the capsule should sit close to the talker without a tall arm in the sightline: desktop conference positions, boardroom tables, lecterns and pulpits, courtroom benches, and installed systems in houses of worship. Its compact 5.9 in (150 mm) length keeps the profile low and unobtrusive, which is exactly what you want on a camera-facing table or a tidy podium. Paired with a Lewitt base and an S-series capsule, it completes a discreet, professional speech-pickup chain.

Who the GN15X Is For

The GN15X is for the integrator building a modular conference system who wants a short, rigid gooseneck for close, low-profile pickup. If you value the freedom to mix and match base, arm, and capsule -- and to service or reconfigure a room one part at a time -- the GN15X is the compact middle piece that ties the system together. (Note: the GN15X is a gooseneck only; a compatible Lewitt base and S-series capsule are required to complete the microphone.)
