Its diecast zinc alloy body is finished in polished chrome, giving it a striking visual presence on stage, in a home studio, or in front of a camera — making it equally popular with performers who value aesthetics as much as audio quality. The DC04 moving coil cartridge is shock-mounted within the body to minimise handling noise and vibration, and the cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the front-facing sound source whilst rejecting off-axis noise and feedback from the sides and rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe frequency response of 80 Hz to 12 kHz covers the full vocal range comfortably, producing a warm, characterful sound that complements the vintage styling of the microphone itself. The balanced XLR output connects to any standard mixer, PA system, or audio interface, and an on\/off switch provides basic signal control on stage. The microphone ships complete with a 5-metre XLR-to-XLR cable, a microphone holder with a 5\/8\" to 3\/8\" thread adapter, and a protective carry case — making it a complete, ready-to-use package. The SDM100-CR is well suited to live vocalists, broadcasters, podcasters, home studio users, content creators, karaoke setups, and any performer who wants the unmistakable look of a vintage microphone with the reliability and connectivity of a modern one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eVintage Aesthetic, Professional Build\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SDM100-CR's chrome-finished diecast zinc alloy body is not simply cosmetic — it is a genuinely robust and weighty construction that gives the microphone a premium feel in the hand and on the stand. The zinc alloy diecast process allows for the kind of sculptural, curved form associated with 1950s broadcast microphones, and the polished chrome finish catches the light in a way that makes the microphone a visual statement in any setting. The shock-mounted cartridge reduces the transmission of stand and handling vibrations to the capsule, which is a practical engineering feature as well as an element of the traditional design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDC04 Cartridge And Sound Character\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC04 moving coil cartridge delivers a warm, rounded vocal character with a frequency response of 80 Hz to 12 kHz — a range that complements the natural tonal qualities of the human voice and gives vocals a slightly smooth, vintage-leaning character that suits the microphone's aesthetic. The cardioid polar pattern provides a natural front-focus with good rejection at the sides and rear, helping to keep unwanted room noise and PA system bleed out of the signal. The balanced XLR output ensures clean, hum-free signal transmission to the desk, even over longer cable runs in larger venues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eStage, Studio, And Content Creation Applications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SDM100-CR's visual appeal makes it particularly popular in applications where the microphone is visible to an audience or on camera. Live performers at retro-themed events, rockabilly and vintage-style acts, cabaret and theatrical productions, and wedding or function bands all benefit from the strong visual identity the microphone brings to the stage. In home studio and content creation contexts, the chrome finish and classic proportions photograph and film exceptionally well, making it a popular choice for streaming setups, YouTube channels, podcast recordings, and any situation where the production aesthetic matters as much as the audio. It is equally at home in schools, community theatres, houses of worship, and karaoke setups where a visually distinctive microphone adds character to the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIncluded Accessories And Connectivity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SDM100-CR ships with a 5-metre XLR-to-XLR cable, allowing it to connect directly to a mixing desk or PA system straight out of the box.

A protective carry case is also included for storage and transport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"8:1-9:633\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"8:1-9:633\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"8:1-9:548\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"8:1-9:548\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Stagg SDM100-CR - Vintage Style Chrome Cardioid Dynamic Microphone\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage 1950s-Inspired Chrome Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast zinc alloy body with a polished chrome finish, faithfully recreating the look of classic 1950s\/60s broadcast and stage microphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock-Mounted DC04 Cartridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimises handling and stand-transmitted vibrations, delivering clean vocal reproduction with a warm, vintage-leaning character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid Polar Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front-focused pickup rejects off-axis noise from the sides and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional balanced output for hum-free signal transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn\/Off Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated on\/off switch for convenient stage-level signal control without requiring changes at the mixer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes a 5m XLR-to-XLR cable, microphone holder with 5\/8\" to 3\/8\" thread adapter, and a protective carry case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stagg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57467148042575,"sku":"SDM100-CR","price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/71e12cCKrKL._AC_SL1024.jpg?v=1779035515","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/stagg-sdm100-cr-vintage-style-chrome-cardioid-dynamic-microphone","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
