The Stager SR-5 is a hyper-cardioid ribbon microphone designed to deliver unparalleled clarity and depth across a wide range of sound sources. Whether capturing the raw power of electric guitars, the nuance of vocals, or the dynamic energy of drums, the SR-5 provides a rich, natural tone with superior focus and detail.

Unrivalled Transformer Technology

At the heart of the SR-5 lies a proprietary toroidal transformer—the same high-performance component featured in the acclaimed SR-1A and SR-2N. This carefully engineered transformer enhances output while preserving the signature warmth and smoothness that define premium ribbon microphones.

Focused, Immersive Sound Capture

The hyper-cardioid polar pattern ensures pinpoint accuracy, delivering exceptional off-axis rejection and allowing for greater control over sound isolation. Whether placed close to a guitar amplifier for a larger-than-life tone or positioned overhead on a drum kit to capture vibrant room ambience, the SR-5 adapts effortlessly to its surroundings.

Crafted for Durability and Precision

Precision-machined in the USA and assembled in Nashville, Tennessee, the SR-5 is built to last. Its 0.1-inch by 1-inch corrugated aluminium ribbon, with a thickness of 2.5 microns, offers superior transient response and a natural high-frequency roll-off. The robust 20-ounce design ensures stability in both studio and live settings, while the expertly crafted yoke mount provides effortless positioning.

Uncompromising Performance, Pure Ribbon Tone

With its passive operation and neodymium magnet structure, the SR-5 stays true to the purity of ribbon microphone technology. Designed for professional musicians, producers, and engineers who demand sonic excellence, this microphone delivers a smooth, transparent response that enhances any performance or recording.
