Sennheiser MAT 153-S B Table Stand for MEG 14-40-L-II (5-Pin XLR)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser MAT 153-S B is a desktop table stand with a 5-pin XLR connector designed specifically for the MEG 14-40-L-II IS series gooseneck microphone. The 5-pin XLR connector makes this stand compatible with conference systems and wireless conferencing infrastructure requiring split-pin phantom power delivery. It provides a freestanding tabletop microphone base in black finish for formal boardrooms, government chambers, and installed-sound environments using 5-pin XLR conference system interfaces.

Product Description

The MAT 153-S B is a specialist table stand configured for the MEG 14-40-L-II IS series gooseneck microphone with a 5-pin XLR connector. The 5-pin XLR connection differentiates this stand from the 3-pin XLR MAT 133-S B, and is specified for conferencing systems that deliver phantom power through 5-pin XLR interfaces — including certain wired conference system processors and wireless conference system base units. The MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck it is designed for uses a lobar polar pattern capsule, providing maximum directional isolation from the specific delegate or speaker using the microphone. This combination is used in high-demand conference installations — government chambers, legislative assemblies, and formal boardrooms — where per-channel isolation and compatibility with conferencing system infrastructure are both requirements. The freestanding design allows the microphone to be placed on the conference table surface without flush mounting, providing flexibility in deployment. The black finish suits dark-finish conference tables and formal AV environments. The MAT 153 + MEG14-40-L-II Set (Product 37) bundles this stand with the MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck as a complete package.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 5-pin XLR (MAT 153-S B) required instead of the 3-pin (MAT 133-S B)?

The 5-pin XLR is required when the conference system infrastructure uses 5-pin XLR connectors for phantom power delivery. This is common in certain wired conference systems and wireless conference base units. Confirm your system's requirements before specifying the MAT 153-S B.

Is the MAT 153-S B available as part of a complete bundle?

Yes. The MAT 153 + MEG14-40-L-II Set includes the MAT 153 stand and the MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck microphone as a complete package. Note that the set uses the MAT 153 (not MAT 153-S) variant; check current Sennheiser product configurations for exact bundle contents.
