Sennheiser MEG 14-40-L-II + MAT 153-S

The Sennheiser MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck microphone and MAT 153-S table stand set is ready for a council chamber, a boardroom or a lecture room. The 40 cm gooseneck brings the KE 10 capsule up to the speaker's mouth without getting in their way, and the cardioid pattern holds intelligibility even where several people sit around one table. The green light ring on the neck and the button on the stand tell both the speaker and the room who has the floor. The whole set is powered through a single 3-pin XLR cable, sold separately — so it joins an existing installation with one cable.

Gooseneck and table stand set

Who has the floor is visible across the room

The green light ring on the gooseneck and the illuminated button on the stand show the whole room which microphone is open. A discussion does not have to start with "can you hear me?", and the chair can see who to bring in next.

A KE 10 capsule built for speech

The KE 10 capsule is made for the spoken word, not for music — and the cardioid pattern keeps the other voices at the table out. That is the difference between minutes that can be transcribed and a recording with half the room talking over each other.
