Sennheiser MEB 102

MEB 102 is a compact built-in boundary-layer microphone designed for meeting rooms, conference halls, lecture spaces and corporate installations. With its discreet design and ability to be mounted into a table, panel or podium surface, it ensures a clean, uncluttered look without visible desktop microphones or excess cabling.

The microphone features a high-quality Sennheiser condenser capsule that delivers clear speech intelligibility and stable coverage across the entire room. Its omnidirectional pickup pattern allows participants to sit freely around the table without precise microphone positioning.

The housing features a durable protective grille for the capsule and an M20 mounting thread for secure installation. The MEB 102-L model includes a dual-color LED status ring (red/green) and an extended XLR-5 connector for logic integration with conferencing systems.

MEB 102 operates on 24–48 V phantom power, offering low self-noise, a wide frequency range and strong dynamic performance. It is a reliable choice for integrators and installation projects that require clean speech pickup with minimal visual impact.
