Microphone Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B Gooseneck

The Sennheiser MEG 14-40 B Gooseneck Microphone is a professional tabletop/gooseneck microphone designed for speech and presentation applications. Its flexible gooseneck allows precise positioning of the microphone capsule for optimal voice pickup, while the cardioid polar pattern reduces ambient noise and feedback. Built with a robust matte black finish, this microphone is intended for integration with compatible Sennheiser podium and tabletop systems and for repeated use in conference rooms, lecture halls, and broadcast environments.

Advantages

The microphone provides focused vocal capture thanks to its cardioid pickup pattern, improving speech intelligibility in noisy environments. The flexible gooseneck enables quick and exact adjustment without tools, and the sturdy construction offers long-term durability for frequent handling and professional use. Its neutral tonal response supports clear voice reproduction suitable for public speaking, interpreting, and media applications.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms and boardrooms for meetings and teleconferences
• Presentation stages and lecture halls for spoken-word reinforcement
• Broadcasting and recording situations that require clear speech capture
• Podium and tabletop installations with compatible Sennheiser mounting systems

When it may not be suitable

This gooseneck microphone is optimized for voice and speech rather than music capture; it may not deliver the tonal breadth required for high-fidelity musical recordings. It also requires a compatible mounting or interface system from Sennheiser, so it may not be directly usable with standalone consumer audio devices without the appropriate adapters or interfaces.

Key specifications

• Type: Gooseneck microphone designed for speech applications
• Polar pattern: Cardioid (directional) to minimize background noise
• Finish: Matte black housing and gooseneck
• Construction: Robust build for professional, repeated use
• Typical use: Tabletop/podium mounting with compatible systems

How to use

Attach the MEG 14-40 B to a compatible Sennheiser podium or tabletop mount according to the system's installation instructions. Position the gooseneck so the microphone capsule is approximately 10–20 cm from the speaker's mouth and angle it slightly toward the mouth for best intelligibility. Adjust the length and orientation of the gooseneck to avoid handling noise and maintain a consistent distance during use. Connect to the appropriate audio input or preamplifier on the host system and set input gain to achieve clear levels without clipping.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your existing podium or tabletop mounting system and audio interface
• Intended use: optimized for speech and presentation, not high-fidelity music recording
• Required cabling or adapters to integrate with your audio setup
• Placement constraints and preferred gooseneck length for your environment

Usage recommendations

For consistent speech clarity, position the capsule 10–20 cm from the mouth, maintain a steady angle toward the speaker, and set input gain conservatively to prevent distortion. Regularly check mounting tightness and protect the microphone from spills and heavy impacts to ensure long service life.
