Sennheiser MEB 114-S B — Tabletop Boundary Microphone with Programmable Switch (Black) The Sennheiser MEB 114-S B boundary microphone is an advanced wired solution designed for professional conference systems and modern meeting rooms. This tabletop boundary microphone combines a robust, damage-resistant housing with a high-quality microphone capsule, ensuring excellent speech intelligibility even in challenging acoustic conditions. The cardioid pickup pattern allows the microphone to effectively capture the speaker's voice while suppressing sound from other directions—a key advantage in environments with high background noise levels, such as open-plan offices, reception areas, and hotels. Thanks to its compact design, the microphone can be easily placed on any table or desk, and its discreet design does not dominate the space. Product Features The programmable microphone button allows selection of one of four operating modes: PTT (push-to-talk), PTM (push-to-mute), On/Off switch, and constant on mode. The two-color LED ring around the button serves as a clear status indicator—the user immediately sees whether the microphone is active. The TTL logic output located on the bottom of the housing enables automatic control of cameras or media control systems. The robust housing and high-quality microphone capsule guarantee reliable operation for many years of use. Professional Integration Capabilities with AV Systems The Sennheiser MEB 114-S B was created with demanding audiovisual installations in mind. The TTL logic output enables seamless cooperation with PTZ cameras, which automatically orient towards the active speaker, which is extremely useful during video conferences and live broadcasts. Media control systems can be integrated just as easily—everything happens without the need for additional external controllers. This makes conducting modern hybrid meetings, where some participants join remotely, much simpler and more efficient. The programmable button gives the presenter full flexibility in managing the microphone's operation. In PTT mode, simply holding the button allows you to speak, and releasing it automatically mutes the microphone—an ideal solution for people leading meetings in a dynamic format, with frequent voice transfers between participants. PTM mode works oppositely—the microphone is on by default, and holding the button mutes it, which works well during longer presentations and lectures. The On/Off switch and constant on mode allow you to tailor the microphone's behavior to specific usage scenarios. The two-color LED ring—green and red—clearly informs all meeting participants of the device's current operating status, eliminating misunderstandings about whether the microphone is active. The cardioid characteristic of the transducer means that sound is collected primarily from the direction in front of the microphone, significantly reducing the risk of feedback and limiting the intrusion of background noise into the transmission. This is particularly important in conference rooms where many electronic devices are operating simultaneously—projectors, computers, air conditioning, or ventilation systems. The maximum sound pressure level of 140 dB ensures that the microphone can handle even very loud sound sources without introducing distortion to the recorded or transmitted signal. The pre-polarized condenser transducer is characterized by high sensitivity of 10 mV/Pa, which translates to clear, natural sound and faithful reproduction of voice timbre. This ensures that participants' contributions in conferences are perfectly audible and understandable, which is crucial for effective business communication. The microphone works excellently in both small meeting rooms and larger auditoriums, where uniform and clear voice distribution is key. Applications Conference systems in meeting rooms, offices, and coworking spaces Automatic camera control during video conferences and online broadcasts Integration with media control systems in lecture halls and auditoriums Recording of proceedings, negotiations, and training sessions Sound reinforcement in conference rooms and training centers Detailed Technical Specifications Directional characteristic: Cardioid Transducer: Pre-polarized condenser Sensitivity: 10 mV/Pa Maximum sound pressure level: 140 dB Color: Black Dimensions: approx. 85 × 100 × 25 mm (H × D × W) Connector: 3-pin mini XLR Connection type: Wired Materials and Construction The housing of the Sennheiser MEB 114-S B microphone was designed with intensive use in office and institutional environments in mind. Durable materials used in production ensure resistance to mechanical damage, accidental impacts, and stability during operation on flat surfaces. The microphone is carefully balanced, so it sits securely on the table, and its low profile does not interfere with communication between meeting participants. The matte black finish of the housing allows the device t...
