Sennheiser SpeechLine Wired: Top Quality In Every Respect

Sennheiser Presents Microphone Series for Installations at ISE

Sennheiser is completing its series of installation microphones with a new tablestand-gooseneck combination. The SpeechLine Wired series ensures optimum quality and offers scalable solutions for meetings, conferences and presentations.

The Sennheiser SpeechLine Wired series for installed sound applications will satisfy even the most demanding customers. Whether it is speech intelligibility, workmanship or design, the installed sound microphones offer top quality in every respect. What is more, the different models of the series also offer flexible solutions for every installation.

The microphone series for all installations
"The SpeechLine Wired series includes electrostatic boundary microphones for meetings and audio conferences and tablestand combinations for presentations and lectures," explained Kai Tossing, Portfolio Manager Business Communication at Sennheiser. The boundary microphones, which share the product name MEB (microphone electrostatic boundary), are available as in-table and on-table models. They each come in three different colours: white, black or Nextel grey, thus providing optimum integration into any meeting environment. The tablestand combinations, which have the product name MAT (microphone accessory tablestand), are available in black and Nextel grey.

The stylish design of the Sennheiser microphones ensures that they blend excellently into any room. The MEB 114 on-table microphone has already won the iF Product Design Award. Flexibility in choosing the right microphone type is also guaranteed by optimum connectivity: the SpeechLine Wired microphones are compatible with all systems on the market. The Sennheiser microphone series therefore offers scalable solutions for every installation.

New tablestand combination rounds off the series
Audio specialist Sennheiser is now launching the final components of its SpeechLine Wired series: the MAT 153-S tablestand has an XLR 5 input and a programmable, two-colour LED ring switch and is phantom-powered. Combined with the new MEG 14-40-L-II gooseneck microphone with a matching green light ring, Sennheiser offers a conference solution that makes installations easier than ever before. Its phantom power enables the tablestand-gooseneck combination to be connected to a microphone cable in the usual manner, thus eliminating the need for additional and costly cabling.

Optimally suited to customer requirements
The SpeechLine Wired installation microphones are optimised for speech applications. They guarantee the highest level of speech intelligibility, making sure that no spoken words are lost or misunderstood. "A highlight of the series is the legendary Sennheiser ME 36, which guarantees a level of audio quality that is unsurpassed on the market," said Kai Tossing proudly. "This mini shotgun microphone, which is made in Germany, can be combined with a SpeechLine Wired tablestand as a gooseneck solution." In addition to the ME 36 (supercardioid/lobar), the tablestand microphones can also be fitted with ME 34 (cardioid) or ME 35 (supercardioid) capsules. Customers can also choose from goosenecks in five different lengths, enabling them to put together the perfect solution for their application according to a modular principle.

Regardless of the model, colour or combination, all SpeechLine Wired installation microphones are available with or without a 'mute' switch. The switch, which is indicated by an "S" in the product name, has a two-colour LED ring. When the microphone is switched on, the ring is illuminated in green. If the microphone is muted, the colour automatically changes to red. This colour combination is intuitively recognised by all users, thus making the microphone extremely user-friendly. On the in-table microphones, the LED ring is directly on the microphone itself. The 'mute' switch, which also has a light ring, is integrated into the table top.

With its range of microphones in the SpeechLine Wired series, audio specialist Sennheiser offers top-quality solutions for every installation, precisely meeting customer requirements in every case.

The SpeechLine Wired series will be presented at InfoComm 2015 in June.
