Sennheiser ME 34 Capsule Head Black (Cardioid, Condenser)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser ME 34 is a cardioid condenser capsule head in black finish designed for use with Sennheiser MZH IS series gooseneck microphone systems. It provides a standard cardioid polar pattern with directional front pickup and rear rejection, making it suitable for podium, conference, and installed-sound speech applications. The ME 34 attaches to the MZH series gooseneck tubes to form a complete installed microphone. It is also available in white finish (ME 34 W) for installations requiring a light colour match.

Product Description

The ME 34 is the cardioid capsule head in Sennheiser's IS (installed sound) series, designed specifically for integration with MZH gooseneck tubes in permanent and semi-permanent microphone installations. As a condenser capsule, the ME 34 delivers clear, detailed voice reproduction well suited to speech reinforcement and conferencing applications where intelligibility is the primary requirement. The cardioid polar pattern provides directional pickup from the front — directly toward the speaker's mouth — while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This directional behaviour reduces pickup of ambient noise from the audience or room, and lowers the risk of acoustic feedback in sound reinforcement systems. In a conference table or podium installation, the ME 34's cardioid pattern helps ensure that the microphone picks up the intended speaker while minimising interference from adjacent sources. The ME 34 attaches directly to MZH series gooseneck tubes — including MZH 3015, MZH 3040, MZH 3042, MZH 3062, and MZH 3072 — which are then mounted to tabletop flanges, shockmounts, or ceiling hangers depending on the installation requirement. Complete IS series bundles pairing the ME 34 with specific gooseneck lengths and mounting components are also available (I15-C, I40-C, I42-C, I30H-C). The black finish of the ME 34 suits dark-finished conference tables, podiums, and AV installations.
