Sennheiser MZT 30 L Flush-Mount Table Installation Socket (5-Pin XLR)

The Sennheiser MZT 30 L (Article Number: 009446) is a professional, heavy-duty metal installation socket engineered for permanent, flush-mount integration into conference tables, meeting room desks, pulpits, altars, and lecture hall lecterns. This architectural-grade receptacle serves as a rock-solid, low-profile interface for Sennheiser’s premium MZH series gooseneck microphones.

The "-L" designation specifies that this socket features a 5-pin XLR-Female input array instead of the standard 3-pin version. This 5-pin architecture provides the two additional independent conductor contacts required to transmit DC supply voltage to power goosenecks outfitted with integrated LED status light rings (such as the MZH 3015-L, MZH 3040-L, and MZH 3042-L).

Key Engineering and Structural Attributes

  • Dedicated Light-Ring Support Architecture: Built natively with a 5-pin XLR matrix. While pins 1, 2, and 3 handle the standard balanced audio signal and 48V phantom power, pins 4 and 5 are designated to route independent 9V to 30V DC power to control the live status ring lights on the mic column.

  • Low-Profile Flush-Mount Integration: Designed to drop clean and flush into a surface, providing an exceptionally elegant, minimal footprint. It allows venues to avoid the visual bulk of heavy desktop bases, table stands, or exposed trailing wires.

  • Heavy-Duty Secure Internal Locking: Outfitted with an integrated mechanical spring-lock mechanism. When a gooseneck is inserted, it snaps into place to prevent the mic from rocking, twisting, or being pulled out accidentally by presenters. A discrete release tab allows for quick teardowns.

  • Anti-Reflective Matte Coating: Finished in a specialized, durable matte black protective layer. It prevents camera glare and avoids reflecting harsh overhead conference room or stage studio lighting.

In the Box: Production Component Inventory

  • 1 x Sennheiser MZT 30 L Flush-Mount 5-Pin XLR Installation Socket

  • (Note: MZH goosenecks, microphone capsules, and hookup wiring are sold separately)

Installation Guide and Pinout Connectivity Advice

Precision Surface Hole Cutting: To mount the socket flush into a wooden conference table or metal lectern box, you must bore a precision 24 mm (0.95") diameter cut-out hole through the surface substrate. Ensure the edges of the cut hole are completely deburred before dropping the socket body into place. The outer 38.5 mm top flange will sit flush over the opening, covering the seam seamlessly.

Underside Solder Terminal Mapping: The underside of the MZT 30 L features five physical bare soldering tabs to tie the socket into your venue's infrastructure cabling infrastructure. Wire the contacts cleanly according to the following factory specifications:

  • Pin 1: Audio Signal Shield / Ground

  • Pin 2: Audio Signal Positive (+) / Hot

  • Pin 3: Audio Signal Negative (-) / Cold

  • Pin 4: LED Light Ring Supply Input Positive (+)

  • Pin 5: LED Light Ring Supply Input Negative (-)

  • (Note: The integrated light ring circuitry can accept 9V to 30V DC supply voltage, working in any polarity across the LED lines).
