Sennheiser MAT 153 + MEG14-40-L-II Set (Table Stand + Gooseneck Mic)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser MAT 153 + MEG14-40-L-II Set is a complete tabletop gooseneck microphone package comprising the MAT 153 table stand with 5-pin XLR connector and the MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck microphone. The MAT 153 table stand uses a 5-pin XLR connector for phantom power delivery, making this set compatible with wireless and conference systems requiring split-pin power connections. Together, this package provides a complete, ready-to-deploy conference microphone solution for boardrooms, government chambers, and formal installed-sound environments.

Product Description

The MAT 153 + MEG14-40-L-II Set bundles two key Sennheiser IS series components into a single conference microphone solution: the MAT 153 desktop table stand and the MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck microphone. The MAT 153 table stand uses a 5-pin XLR connector, which provides phantom power on separate pin pairs compared to the standard 3-pin XLR arrangement. This is appropriate for conferencing systems that use 5-pin XLR interfaces for phantom power distribution or for integration with certain wireless conference system infrastructure. The MEG 14-40-L-II is a 40cm IS series gooseneck microphone with lobar polar pattern capsule, positioned at standard speaking height above the table surface. The lobar pattern provides maximum directional isolation for the specific speaker using the microphone, rejecting adjacent noise sources and room reflections — making it the preferred choice in government chambers, legislative assemblies, and formal multi-seat conference facilities. The table stand accepts the gooseneck directly without additional adapters. This combined set is used by AV integrators and conferencing system installers who need a complete tabletop microphone unit for high-demand installed-sound positions.
