Sennheiser MZT 8000 Metal Table Stand for MKH 8000

Product Overview

The Sennheiser MZT 8000 is a professional metal table stand designed for use with MKH 8000 series microphone systems. It provides a stable, low-profile desktop mounting solution for conference, broadcast, and studio recording applications. The stand accepts the MZX 8000 XLR module directly, creating a clean and compact tabletop microphone configuration. Its all-metal construction delivers the durability and professional appearance required for permanent and semi-permanent installations.

Product Description

The MZT 8000 table stand is a dedicated mounting accessory for the Sennheiser MKH 8000 modular microphone system, designed to provide a stable and aesthetically clean desktop or conference table presence for MKH 8000 capsule and MZX 8000 module assemblies. In broadcast studio, conference room, and recording studio environments, the MZT 8000 replaces a standard microphone stand with a compact, permanently positioned table solution that sits flush to the working surface. The stand is constructed from metal throughout, providing the mass and rigidity needed to keep the microphone stable during use and to resist vibration from desk surfaces that could otherwise cause low-frequency handling noise in recordings. The MZT 8000 integrates mechanically with the MZX 8000 XLR module, allowing the full MKH 8000 capsule assembly to be mounted directly without additional adapters. This makes for a clean installation with minimal cable routing complexity. The stand is well suited to permanent broadcast desk setups, on-camera interview configurations, conference room microphone deployments, and any environment where a traditional tripod stand would be impractical or visually intrusive. The professional metal finish aligns with the visual standards of broadcast and corporate AV environments.
