CAD Audio GN18VP Gooseneck Condenser Microphone

The CAD Audio GN18VP is a high?performance mini gooseneck condenser microphone with a continuous variable polar pattern setting via VersaPattern™ technology. Designed for professional audio applications, it lets you dial in exactly the pickup pattern needed—whether cardioid, omnidirectional, figure?8, or anything in between.

This 18?inch microphone features a dual gooseneck design with a rigid midsection and silent, smooth bending pipes at top and bottom. The device is engineered for positional stability and offers low noise, wide frequency response, and transparent sound reproduction. A foam windscreen is included for ambient noise protection.

The GN18VP suits environments needing flexible mic coverage—conference rooms, podiums, houses of worship, or broadcast settings. Its variable pattern makes it valuable where room acoustics or speaker layouts vary, and its durable black finish ensures unobtrusive installation.
