Gooseneck
- A flexible, spiral, metal coupling usually between 8 and 18 inches long that can be used to attach a microphone to a stand. The gooseneck is flexible and allows the microphone to be oriented in almost any direction. Most metal goosenecks squeak when moved so it is generally not possible to move them while the microphone is in use. Recently, however, manufacturers have started using rubber and plastic compounds to build goosenecks that can be move without generating excessive noise in the microphone.
