Sennheiser I15-C ME34 Cardioid Gooseneck System (15cm, Flange + Shockmount)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser I15-C is a complete IS series installed-sound gooseneck microphone system comprising the ME 34 cardioid condenser capsule, a 15cm MZH gooseneck tube, MZT 30 flange mount, and MZS 31 shockmount. The short 15cm gooseneck is suited to compact conference table and podium installations where a discreet, low-profile microphone is required. The ME 34 cardioid pattern provides directional front pickup with rear rejection for effective speech capture and feedback control. The complete hardware package is ready for installation without additional components.

Product Description

The I15-C is an IS (installed sound) series complete gooseneck microphone system from Sennheiser, designed for permanent installation on conference tables, podiums, and boardroom desks. The system pairs the ME 34 cardioid condenser capsule with a 15cm single-flex MZH gooseneck tube, providing a compact microphone form factor suited to locations where table space is limited or where a shorter microphone profile is visually preferred. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup toward the front — toward the speaker — while rejecting sound from the sides and rear, which reduces ambient noise pickup and lowers the risk of acoustic feedback in sound-reinforced rooms. The MZT 30 flange mount is designed for flush or near-flush installation into conference table surfaces or podium panels, providing a clean professional finish with the gooseneck emerging directly from the table or desk surface. The MZS 31 shockmount provides mechanical vibration isolation to prevent low-frequency noise from table vibration or handling from reaching the capsule. This combination of components covers all the hardware requirements for a single microphone installation position on a conference table or podium. The IS series naming convention identifies this system: "I" for installed, "15" for the 15cm gooseneck length, and "C" for cardioid polar pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the I15-C system?

The I15-C includes the ME 34 cardioid capsule, a 15cm single-flex MZH gooseneck tube, an MZT 30 flange mount for surface installation, and an MZS 31 shockmount for vibration isolation.

Is the I15-C suitable for conference table installation?

Yes. The 15cm gooseneck and flush flange mount make the I15-C well suited for conference table installations where a low-profile, permanently mounted microphone is required.

Can the ME 34 capsule be upgraded to a different polar pattern?

The ME 34 capsule can be replaced with an ME 35 (supercardioid) or ME 36 (lobar) capsule to change the directional characteristic. See the I15-S or I15-L IS series systems for pre-configured alternatives.

Does the I15-C include phantom power?

The I15-C system requires phantom power from the connected preamplifier, mixer, or DSP system to power the condenser capsule. It does not include a standalone power supply.
