Sennheiser MAT 153

MAT 153-S is a wired tabletop stand for gooseneck microphones with an XLR-5 connector, created for modern conference spaces, meeting rooms and podium setups where reliable indication, stable performance and full integration with control systems are essential.

Part of the SpeechLine Wired series, this tablestand delivers consistent, uninterrupted operation without batteries or charging stations – it runs directly on 48 V phantom power. The durable build and substantial weight ensure a stable position on the table, even during active use.

The MAT 153-S features a 5-pin XLR-5F connector for MEG gooseneck microphones with LED rings and logic support. This allows the microphone to display its status and communicate control signals to external systems. The programmable button supports multiple operating modes — quick on/off, push-to-talk, push-to-mute or permanent activation – making it easy to adapt the microphone workflow to any meeting format.

The integrated TTL port enables synchronization with cameras, DSPs and room control systems. The dual-color LED ring (green/red) provides clear and highly visible microphone status indication, making it suitable even for large conference halls.

MAT 153-S is an excellent choice for fixed installations that require a fully wired setup with logic support, tidy design and stable, interference-free audio performance.
