Sennheiser MAT 153-S B Switched Tabletop Stand

Advanced Control & 5-Pin XLR Integration: Sennheiser MAT 153-S B

The Sennheiser MAT 153-S B delivers intelligent audio routing and control for executive boardrooms, parliamentary chambers, broadcast studios, and high-end video conferencing setups.

Specifically built to accommodate gooseneck microphones with illuminated signal rings, the MAT 153-S B combines rock-solid mechanical stability with versatile operational modes. Available now in our Sennheiser pro audio store catalog, this base bridges the gap between acoustic voice capture and third-party media control systems via integrated TTL logic outputs.

Key Features & Pro-Level Advantages

• 5-Pin XLR Input Connection: Designed to supply audio power and control signals directly to gooseneck microphones with status light rings (e.g., Sennheiser MEG 14-40-L-II B).
• Multi-Mode Programmable Button: Easily configure the soft-touch button for Toggle On/Off, Push-to-Talk (PTT), Push-to-Mute (PTM), or Permanently On modes.
• Bi-Color LED Visual Feedback: High-visibility light ring around the button clearly indicates active (green) or muted (red) status across the meeting room.
• Integrated TTL Logic Connectors: Terminal block connections on the underside send logic signals to external media processors (Crestron, Extron, Q-SYS) to trigger automatic camera switching or room automation.
• Heavy Vibration-Decoupled Base: 1.21 kg die-cast housing absorbs physical desk movement and prevents tipping or handling noise.
• 48 V Phantom Power Operation: Draws operational power (3.7 mA) cleanly from standard 48V phantom power through the main 3-pin XLR audio output line.
