Stager Microphones is a small, artisan ribbon-microphone maker based in Nashville, Tennessee. Each mic is built by hand by founder Matt Stager in limited batches, with a focus on long-ribbon elements and custom-wound toroidal output transformers. The company's reputation has grown largely through word of mouth in the Nashville studio scene before spreading to engineers elsewhere.
The lineup centers on a handful of models: the SR-1A, the compact SR-2N, the Stereo SR-2N (a Blumlein/Mid-Side stereo version of the SR-2N capsule), the SR-3, and the SR-5, a passive hypercardioid ribbon aimed at electric guitar cabinets and vocals. The mics are typically described as having a smooth, full low end with detailed but un-brittle highs, traits engineers tend to associate with classic ribbon designs rather than the brighter modern variants.
