Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Pack

Professional sound in your home studio

The Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic Kit makes it easy to record professional-quality podcasts — a perfect add-on to a Zoom recorder like the PodTrak™ P4 or H5 Handy. The kit's ZDM-1 dynamic mic captures voices in clear detail. The included windscreen helps smooth out popped syllables and diminish ambient sounds. And the compact folding tripod stand lets you set up on just about any flat surface.

Quality headphones

Also included are a pair of Zoom ZHP-1 headphones. These closed-back 'phones have a frequency response of 10-20,000 Hz, so you can hear all the fine details (or flaws) as you monitor your recording. The headphones are generously padded and weigh only 7.76 ounces, for comfort during long recording sessions.

Software to get you started

The kit includes a free software license for Steinberg WaveLab Cast. This software connects you with directly with popular podcast directories like Podbean and Spreaker. You can upload completed episodes of your podcast and even create an RSS feed for your subscribers.

The software also features advanced sound editing capabilities. You can record high-res audio up to 96kHz. And it lets you remove noise and unwanted sounds, plus assemble your podcast from sound files with crossfades and multi-tracking.

Extra gear

You also get a 2-meter XLR cable for your microphone, and a 9.9-foot stereo minijack cable (with 1/4" adapter) for your headphones. Both ensure you can have lots of play once you've set up your gear.
