Sennheiser I15-L ME36 Lobar Gooseneck System (15cm, Flange + Shockmount)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser I15-L is a complete IS series installed-sound gooseneck microphone system comprising the ME 36 supercardioid/lobar condenser capsule, a 15cm MZH gooseneck tube, MZT 30 flange mount, and MZS 31 shockmount. The lobar polar pattern provides the tightest directional pickup in the ME capsule range, making this system the choice for multi-speaker conference rooms and government chambers where maximum inter-channel isolation is required. The 15cm short gooseneck suits compact conference table and podium installations. The complete kit is ready for installation without additional components.

Product Description

The I15-L is the lobar-pattern IS series gooseneck system with the shortest gooseneck length available, designed for installed-sound applications that require both a compact form factor and the maximum directional isolation that the ME 36 lobar capsule provides. In multi-seat conference tables and government assembly rooms, the lobar pickup pattern of the ME 36 ensures that each microphone position captures only the immediate speaker while rejecting adjacent delegate positions, audience areas, and room reflections. This tight isolation is critical in automatic microphone mixing systems and multi-channel conferencing setups where multiple microphones are open simultaneously. The 15cm gooseneck keeps the overall microphone profile low, which is appropriate for formal conference environments where visual intrusiveness must be minimised. The MZT 30 flange provides clean flush surface mounting, and the MZS 31 shockmount isolates the capsule from table vibration. The I15-L is identified by "I" for installed, "15" for 15cm gooseneck, and "L" for lobar polar pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the I15-L over the I15-C?

Choose the I15-L when maximum directional isolation between adjacent microphone positions is required. The ME 36 lobar pattern is tighter than the ME 34 cardioid, providing greater rejection of adjacent delegates, audience noise, and room reflections. The I15-C cardioid is appropriate for less demanding environments or single-speaker positions.

Is the I15-L available in white finish?

The ME 36 W white capsule is available separately for installations requiring white finish components. Check current IS series bundle availability for white-finish pre-configured systems.

What phantom power is required for the I15-L?

The ME 36 condenser capsule requires phantom power from the connected preamplifier or DSP system. Standard 48 V phantom power is required.
