Zoom ZPC-1 Cardioid Pencil Condenser Microphones (Matched Pair)

The Zoom ZPC-1 is a matched pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones, designed to capture natural, uncoloured stereo sound for a wide range of applications. With a broad frequency range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, high sensitivity, low distortion, and a cardioid pickup pattern, these microphones are ideal for recording pianos, drum overheads, acoustic instruments, percussion, strings, woodwinds, and ambient sounds for video. This stereo set comes with two mic clips, two foam windscreens for outdoor use, and two protective pouches, ensuring you have everything needed for professional recordings in the studio or on location.

Matched Pair for Accurate Stereo Recording

This pair of ZPC-1s is matched at both 1 kHz and 100 Hz, allowing the mics to seamlessly work together to capture the most accurate stereo recording possible using various configurations.

You can use them in an XY pattern to capture a clear center image with a tight stereo spread or as spaced pair in an AB pattern for a wider, immersive sonic image.

Designed to Capture a Wide Range of Instruments

The mics’ cardioid polar patterns focus audio capture on the sound source in front of each mic while picking up less sound from the back and sides.

With the ability to handle SPLs up to 134 dB, the mics can be placed close to the source for nuanced recordings requiring definition and detail.

48V phantom power is required to power each electret-condenser mic capsule.

Ready for the Studio, the Stage, or the Field

With a solid-metal body design and included foam windscreens (with rubber-ring openings for a tight fit), both mics are durable and ready for use in any environment-indoor and outdoor.

The ZPC-1 pair can be used to capture sound in the field with any portable Zoom recorder, such as the F3.
