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

The Zoom ZPC-1 Cardioid Pencil Condenser Microphones are supplied as a matched stereo pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones, designed to deliver pure, natural audio without added coloration. Whether you are in the studio, on stage, or out in the field, these versatile microphones provide a wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, high sensitivity, and a cardioid pickup pattern that captures clear and accurate sound for instruments and voice.

Consistent Performance for Professional Recording

Matched carefully at both 1 kHz and 100 Hz, the pair ensures reliable stereo imaging using XY or AB configurations. Each microphone handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB, making them ideal for drum overheads, acoustic instruments, strings, and woodwinds. Requiring 48V phantom power, the ZPC-1 capsules deliver professional-grade clarity for critical audio work.

Built for Studio and Field Use

With rugged metal housings, the Zoom ZPC-1 microphones are built to last and perform in demanding environments. Included foam windscreens reduce wind noise, while the package also provides two mic clips and protective pouches for safe transport. Compatible with portable recorders like the Zoom F3, this matched pair is ready to capture pristine, high-fidelity audio wherever your production takes you.
