Fenton DM105 - Cardioid Dynamic Microphone for Vocals and Karaoke with Soft-Touch Finish

Discover the Fenton DM105 , a dynamic microphone designed to deliver stunning vocal performance in a wide variety of settings. This device isn't just an entry-level microphone; it's a robust tool built with user comfort and sound fidelity in mind. Its most distinctive feature is its rubberized coating (soft-touch finish) , which not only provides a modern, professional aesthetic in dark gray but also significantly improves grip, preventing accidental slippage during energetic performances and reducing handling noise.

At the heart of the DM105 is a neodymium dynamic capsule . Unlike conventional magnets, neodymium allows for a stronger magnetic field, resulting in greater sensitivity and clearer, more detailed sound reproduction without the need for external power. Its unidirectional cardioid polar pattern is essential for vocalists and presenters, as it primarily picks up sound from the front, effectively rejecting ambient noise and minimizing the risk of feedback when used near speakers or stage monitors.

Designed for durability and immediate use, the microphone comes equipped with a rugged protective grille that shields the capsule from bumps and drops. It also features an integrated noise filter (pop filter) that smooths out plosive sounds (like "P"s and "B"s) and wind noise, ensuring a clear signal. Its built-in on/off switch gives the user complete control over the audio transmission, ideal for pauses between songs or speeches. With the included 3-meter cable (XLR to 6.3mm jack), you'll have the freedom of movement needed to interact with your audience right from the start.

Main features

• Neodymium Capsule: Advanced magnetic technology that offers greater vocal clarity and superior dynamic range compared to standard microphones.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it require phantom power (+48V) to operate?
  No, the Fenton DM105 is a dynamic microphone and doesn't require any external power or batteries. Just plug it in and you're good to go.
• What type of cable is included in the box?
  The product comes with a 3-meter cable that has an XLR connector (for the microphone) on one end and a 6.3 mm jack connector (for the amplifier or mixer) on the other.
• Is it compatible with computers?
  To connect it to a computer, you will generally need a USB audio interface or a specific 6.3 mm Jack to 3.5 mm Mini-Jack adapter (taking impedance into account), as the direct PC input is usually different.
• Does the switch make a noise when it's activated?
  The switch is designed to be silent, allowing you to discreetly cut the audio without generating annoying "clicks" in the speakers.
