Fenton DM105 Dynamic Microphone
Fenton DM105 Dynamic Microphone
The Fenton Dynamic DM105 microphone captures the human voice with high precision and clarity, making it ideal for singing, karaoke, presentations and spoken word. This dynamic microphone uses a unidirectional cardioid pattern to effectively suppress unwanted ambient sounds. Reliable connection to other audio devices is handled by a 3-pin XLR output connector located directly on the bottom of the unit's body. The manufacturer has also included a 3m detachable connection cable with a 6.3mm Jack connector. Its robust design with a rubberised grip makes it easy to hold for long periods.

Ambient noise suppression and wind protection
The head design includes an integrated filter against wind and unwanted noise. The built-in anti-pop filter effectively dampens air blasts when pronouncing plosive sounds and protects against gusts of wind. A solid silver metal protective grille protects the sensitive internal capsule from damage in the event of a drop or impact. This keeps the audio recording perfectly clean and free of all distracting elements.
Connections and outputs
On the underside of the microphone is a standard 3-pin male XLR connector. The package includes a detachable 3m cable for easy connection. The cable has an XLR connector on one end and a 6.3mm Jack on the other. Users can easily disconnect the cable for transport or storage. The signal travels to the mixing desk or active speaker without any loss of quality.
Controls and switch
On the robust plastic body of the device, you will find a mechanical slide switch labelled On/Off. This practical feature is used to instantly mute or activate the microphone without having to disconnect the cable from the mixing desk. This allows users to conveniently control the status of the device directly during a live performance, presentation or karaoke night. The switch is very reliable, has a smooth action and requires no additional adjustment.
Grip and construction
The microphone's body is made of a strong, hard plastic that reliably withstands demanding daily use. The grip surface is covered with a special rubberised layer for a stable and comfortable hold. This ergonomic feature prevents it from accidentally slipping out of your hand during prolonged use while singing or presenting. The microphone weighs 0.45kg and measures 185×48mm, which makes handling significantly easier.
Power and operation
This dynamic system works completely passively, which means it does not require any external power to function. You don't need batteries or phantom power from a sound card or mixing desk for operation. Simply plug the microphone into a compatible input using the supplied cable and you can start talking or singing straight away. This worry-free functionality significantly simplifies use in the field, on the road and for home karaoke.

Microphone principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for open performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is primarily used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It requires a separate power supply.
Frequency range
The frequency range indicates the range of frequency values that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest tones of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g., 200–3000Hz): The body of instruments, the foundation of the voice where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech clarity.
High frequencies (e.g., 3000–14000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance, and the "shine" of the sound.
Air band (above 14000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super-high-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it reduces unnecessary amplification of ambient noise.
