About the Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B Gooseneck Microphone
The Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B is a professional condenser gooseneck microphone system designed for permanent installation in environments demanding both high-quality audio and a discreet visual presence. This complete system integrates a high-performance condenser capsule with a flexible 40-centimeter gooseneck and a threaded base for secure mounting into lecterns, conference tables, or custom panels. Its primary application is in formal settings such as corporate boardrooms, legislative assemblies, courtrooms, and houses of worship, where reliable, clear speech reinforcement and recording are essential. The microphone utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to provide focused frontal pickup, effectively capturing the speaker's voice while rejecting ambient room noise, feedback, and sounds from other directions, ensuring intelligibility in acoustically challenging spaces.
The condenser transducer is engineered for a smooth, extended frequency response that captures the natural character of the human voice with exceptional clarity and detail. The microphone requires standard 48-volt phantom power, which is supplied through the connected balanced audio cable from a compatible mixer or digital signal processor. The integrated preamplifier is designed for low noise and high headroom, providing a robust signal level over long cable runs. The gooseneck itself is robust yet malleable, allowing for precise positioning of the microphone capsule toward the speaker, and it maintains its set position reliably without sagging. The finish is a professional matte black, minimizing light reflection and visual distraction.
This model is part of a modular installation family, designed for durability and long-term performance with minimal maintenance. Its construction ensures resistance to handling noise and electromagnetic interference. The Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B provides a reliable, set-and-forget audio solution for fixed installations, where consistent day-in, day-out performance is more critical than portability. It delivers the sonic accuracy and rejection needed for professional conferencing, speech amplification, and recording, all while maintaining a low-profile, professional appearance that integrates unobtrusively into formal environments.
